LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville Metro Police officers were shot at Friday afternoon.
According to a statement from police, plainclothes detectives from the Criminal Interdiction Division were following a known homicide suspect at about 2:30 p.m. Police believe multiple shots were fired at them in the 500 block of North 24th Street.
No one was shot, but rounds did hit an unmarked police vehicle according to authorities; the officers did not return fire.
The homicide suspect, Shannondoah Carmen, and his brother James Carmen were arrested. James is accused of shooting at the authorities, police said.
LMPD's Public Integrity Unity will lead the investigation.
This is at least the second time LMPD officers were fired at in recent days.
Last week, officers shot and killed a man after Mayor Craig Greenberg claimed the 47-year-old was "wildly firing" at officers in the Clifton area.
