Six victims have been reported, including at least one police officer, in a shooting outside the Old National Bank in Louisville, Kentucky.

Metro police have advised the public to avoid the area of the 300 block of East Main Street in the downtown area of the city, as Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear arrives on the scene.

Dispatchers heard on police scanners have indicated that the shooting occurred on the first floor of the building, in front of Louisville Slugger Stadium — located just hours from Nashville, where a gunman recently opened fire at a Christian school and killed six people.

to ignore this story.

4. they will search shooters background for Trans status or other marginalized group

online commenters have been raging against trans shooters (like they are millions of them ) since the other KY shooting

6. At least one will stand before a mic

and tell us it would premature to discuss gun control of any kind at this time.

5. Oh well,

It must have been their “time” …

(This is what my “religious” neighbor tells me when people die)

Tots and pears?

I'm sure BooBoo is praying, or at least pretending to pray while she offers the 'only solution, more guns.

9. Aren't most banks rather heavily guarded?

With armed cops?

Good guys with guns can be ambushed and killed like anyone else. I reckon the GOP response will be: the bank only had 2 armed cops? They should have had 4, or 6, or 20.

Guns are destroying this society.

10. Uh, no. They might have one security guard in place,

but not a cop. If there were a couple of police officers in every bank branch, there would be none out on the street. In fact, they'd have to hire many, many new police officers.

I'm sure you have been in a bank. Did you see any police officers there?

11. Frankly, it's been a long, long time since I set foot...

...in a brick-and-mortar bank. Usually just use ATMs.

Silly me. I figured they keep cops where lots of money is held.

13. I cannot recall

How many years it has been since I have see a guard in a bank.
