The Lexington Herald Leader noted the timeline of the murders
8:38 a.m.: Louisville Metro Police officers received a call of shots fired at 333 East Main Street in downtown.
8:41 a.m.: Officers arrived at the Old National Bank where they encountered the shooter who was actively firing. Police immediately opened fire on the shooter, who died at the scene. Police are working to determine if the shooter’s cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot wound, or the result of police gunfire.
10 a.m.: It was determined there was no longer an active threat to the public.
And at 1142am in the same paper
After Louisville shooting, it’s time to get out our bullhorns. We’re sick of gun deaths. | Opinion
Have we had enough yet?
Exactly two weeks after a deranged shooter killed six people in Nashville, three of them precious, innocent children, a deranged shooter killed four people in Louisville (the shooter also died), and sent eight more to the hospital.
Yes, a Democratic Party voting transgender wackjob
How many dead bodies ripped apart by bullets are enough? Does this have to go on until every family in America has lost someone to gun violence? Maybe that could be a high enough threshold for the insane death cult started by the National Rifle Association and upheld by so many of our elected officials.
So when will we have had enough? America, the great and good superpower, looks less and less exceptional on every front, but most of all it’s because any public or private space can at any minute turn into a shooting gallery. Why is that ok with so many people?

Sen. Karen Berg, D-Louisville was one of the rare dissenters. On Monday she tweeted: “It is time to address common sense gun legislation. KY requires all guns confiscated in the state to be resold on the open market. Will not even discuss red flag laws in the legislature. No office of gun safety. Thoughts and prayers are not enough! It is past time for action.”
Red flag laws didn’t do a damned thing trans wacko in Nashville.
It’s not about anything else, not mental illness, not gender identity, not politics, not social media.
It’s the guns. Right now, we have almost 400 million weapons in this country. That’s more guns than people.
If it was the guns and the people who lawfully own them, you’d know it. It is the wackos.
Americans want more common sense gun control measures, like better background checks, but the corrupt figures at the NRA have too much power over our politicians. When two Black representatives in Tennessee took to the House floor with a bullhorn to bring attention to this fact, the GOP majority expelled them.
The NRA is made up of American citizens, and the background checks system fails on numerous occasions: how will an expanded system work? Why don’t they just come out and say it: they want to ban the average American from owning a firearm. Again, I’m not against certain measures. I’m even for expanding the waiting period so that a proper, Constitutional background check can be performed. But, everything the Democrats propose are just small steps towards banning and confiscation.
Also, if they want to save lives, well, at least 3-5 times more die from alcohol. Why not enforce the existing laws on firearms? Heck, the same people screeching for gun control have let Hunter Biden, who lied on his firearm application, off scott free. The same people have gone completely soft on criminals.
