A shooting Saturday evening at Louisville’s Big Four Bridge hospitalized five teenagers, according to police, with at least one in critical condition.
Louisville Metro Police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley said First Division officers were dispatched just after 9 p.m. on a report of a shooting at Waterfront Park by the base of the Big Four Bridge, a pedestrian crossing that extends over the Ohio River into Southern Indiana.
Three juveniles who had been shot were found at the scene and taken to the University of Louisville Hospital, Smiley said, where at least one remained in critical condition late Saturday evening.
Two other individuals who had been shot were also taken to the hospital by private means, Smiley said, with LMPD Maj. Brian Kuriger saying their injuries are not believed to be critical.
Little additional information about the individuals who had been shot was made immediately available, though Smiley noted both male and female victims were hospitalized.
No arrests had taken place as of Saturday evening as police continue to investigate.
Anyone with information is asked to call LMPD’s crime tip hotline at 502-574-5673.Â
