LMPD investigating triple shooting at Butchertown Air BnB house party; three hospitalized
Louisville Metro Police said three people were taken to the hospital after a shooting Monday morning at an Air BnB home in the Butchertown neighborhood. Investigators are working to determine what led to the incident.
Louisville Metro Police Department is investigating a shooting at an Air BnB property in the Butchertown neighborhood that left three people hospitalized Monday morning, police said.
The incident was reported in the early hours of Monday, June 22, at an Air BnB home being used for a house party, according to WAVE. Police said three people were shot and were transported for medical treatment. Their conditions were not detailed in the report.
LMPD said it is still investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting, including what sparked the confrontation at the residence and whether multiple shooters were involved. As of Monday morning, police had not publicly released information in the report about suspects, charges, or whether anyone had been arrested.
Because the shooting occurred at a short-term rental, the incident has raised questions for local public safety officials and residents about how parties are monitored and how quickly emergency responders are able to locate the right address when large groups gather at out-of-town or temporary stays.
The case is expected to move through Louisville Metro Police investigative processes, with officers collecting statements and evidence from the scene. Police also typically coordinate with detectives and crime-scene personnel before issuing updates to the public as leads are developed.
Officials said the investigation remains active, and the next public updates may depend on what investigators find in the immediate area, any video or witness information from attendees, and whether police can identify and locate potential suspects connected to the shooting.
