Louisville police: 2 injured in shooting Saturday morning at Kentucky Exposition Center

A shooting was reported Saturday morning at the Kentucky Exposition Center, according to Louisville Metro Police.

Officers were dispatched to the west wing of the Fairgrounds event venue, in the 900 block of Phillips Lane, at about 10:30 a.m., according to a release from LMPD spokesperson Dwight Mitchell. A man who had been shot was found on site and was taken to the University of Louisville Hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening, Mitchell said, while a juvenile who had been injured with a graze wound was taken to Audubon Hospital.

The shooting "appears to be an isolated incident," Mitchell said, and no suspects have been identified. Fourth Division officers are investigating.

According to a schedule previously provided by Kentucky Venues, two events were set to take place this weekend at the Expo Center – the New Year’s Flea Market and RK Shows Gun Show. The venue published a Facebook post about the flea market Saturday morning.

In a statement following the shooting, Kentucky Venues, which manages the Expo Center, said LMPD is leading the investigation, which was caused by a "single individual responsible for the discharge of a firearm from outside of the independently-operated RK Shows." The gun show was closed Saturday and will remain closed Sunday, but other shows currently taking place are still on as scheduled.

"Safety and security is our number one priority for all attendees, exhibitors and staff," the statement said.
