LMPD: Weekend shootings leave 5 injured, recovering in hospitals

Police said victims were injured in shootings early Sunday into the evening hours.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A violent weekend has left several people injured following separate shooting incidents across Louisville.

The violence began around 1 a.m. Sunday when Sixth Division officers responded to the 4300 block of Wooded Way Court in Newburg. There, they say they found a man shot.

About 15 minutes later, Second Division officers found a man shot in the 1800 block of Fust Avenue near Shively.

Metro Police said the violence continued Sunday night.

Their officers located a woman who had been shot in the 1700 block of Patton Court in the Algonquin neighborhood around 9:30 p.m.

They said moments later, police were notified about a man taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound by private means. He allegedly told them he was shot while in Iroquois Park, but Third Division officers have not confirmed an exact location.

Around 10 p.m. police were dispatched to the 2100 block of Osage Avenue in the California neighborhood on a ShotSpotter run. That incident they said, was upgraded to a shooting after finding a man with a gunshot wound.

Police have not disclosed if any of these shootings might be related, but said the investigations are active.

If you happened to be in any of these areas and may have seen anything, you are asked to call the Anonymous Tip Line at (502) 574-LMPD.
