Multiple people were shot along Interstate 75 in a rural area of southeastern Kentucky, authorities said. The Laurel County Sheriff`s Office said in a post on Facebook on Saturday that it was an "active shooter situation" and "numerous persons" were shot near the highway. It added that the interstate was closed 9 miles north of London.
In a video statement, London Mayor Randall Weddle said was told seven people were hurt, but not all of those were wounded by gunfire. Some of the victims were injured in a vehicle accident, he said. "There are no deceased at this time. No one was killed from this, thankfully, but we ask that you continue to pray," Weddle said.
