Multiple people shot in Kentucky; suspect at large, authorities say

Several people were shot near the southeastern Kentucky city of London on Saturday, in what authorities said was an active shooter situation.

The Laurel County Sheriff’s Office reported that “numerous people were shot” and that Interstate 75 was closed about nine miles north of London. No further details were provided.

Kentucky State Police spokesman Officer Scottie Pennington wrote on social media that the suspect had not been captured. Pennington urged area residents to stay indoors. Louisville ATF agents wrote on social media that they are responding and assisting state and local police with a “critical incident” near Interstate 75.

“Kentucky, we are aware of a shooting on I-75 in Laurel County,” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear wrote in a social media post. “Police have closed the freeway in both directions at Exit 49. Please stay away. We will provide more details as they become available.”

This is a developing story and will be updated.
