Search underway in Louisville after shots reportedly fired near park

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (FOX 56) — Louisville police asked the community for help on Saturday after reports of shots being fired at a field near Algonquin Park.

The Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) posted on Facebook that just before 5 p.m. on Friday, there were reports of shots fired near West Gaulbert Avenue and Catalpa Street.

“Officers working in the park were on scene immediately. After a thorough check of the area, no victims were located,” Louisville law enforcement wrote.

The LMPD asked the public for help identifying a person in connection with the investigation. With pool season beginning, officers noted that public violence is intolerable.

“We strongly condemn this reckless and irresponsible behavior,” the department wrote. “Gun violence has no place in our parks, our neighborhoods, or anywhere in our city. The safety of our residents, especially our children and families, is our highest priority.”
