Police also tell us they weren’t called to this house for a shooting, but a welfare check. They say someone told a security guard at the judicial center about “a concern” at the home and asked authorities to check it out.

“We were originally called here, um, it didn’t come out as a shooting and we didn’t get reports shots fired or anything like that," explained OPD Officer Andrew Boggess. "It initially came in to check the welfare of someone at this residence and like I said we ultimately found four victims.”

Police say three Owensboro Schools students live in the home, but they were all at school at the time of the shooting.

Detectives went door to door talking to neighbors to see if anyone heard or saw anything. Police say they have few theories about what may have happened, but at this point it’s too early to release any details.
