LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Police said there is no reason to believe someone was shooting at random cars on I-264 East after investigating gunfire on the interstate Sunday afternoon.
A small portion of the Watterson Expressway was closed near the I-65 interchange after MetroSafe reported three to four cars were hit with gunfire at around 2:15 p.m Sunday.
Lt. Donnie Burbrink with LMPD's Homicide Unit said two vehicles were exchanging gunfire while driving fast down the expressway.
LMPD did not find any victims, however officers were later called to Norton Audubon when a man walked in suffering from gunshot wounds after the shooting. He was taken to UofL Hospital in critical condition.
One other car was hit, however Burbrink said everyone in the car was safe.
Burbrink said it is unclear what happened between the two cars before people opened fire. Anyone with information, or whose car may have been hit during the shooting, is asked to contact LMPD at (502) 574-LMPD.
