Kentucky Gov. Beshear says he lost two 'close' friends in Louisville shooting

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear held back tears as he told reporters that two of the dead and one of the wounded in a shooting in downtown Louisville on Monday are his “close” friends.

A gunman opened fire at the Old National Bank in Louisville on Monday morning, leaving at least four dead and eight others wounded, authorities said. The shooter, described as a current or former employee of the bank, also wounded two responding police officers, one critically, officials said. The gunman was killed not long after the shooting unfolded, Louisville Metro Police Department Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey said.

“This is awful,” Beshear said during a press conference after the shooting. “I have a very close friend that didn’t make it tonight. And I have another close friend who did not either, and one who’s at the hospital but I hope is going to make it through.”
