2 men shot at apartment in east Louisville overnight

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - In the early hours of the Fourth of July, two men were injured in a shooting at an apartment building in east Louisville.

It happened around 1:45 a.m. Thursday, on Tazwell Drive, a Louisville Metro Police Department spokesman confirmed. That’s off Murphy Lane near Westport Road, just outside of the Gene Snyder.

Police arrived to find a 23-year-old man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Crews rushed him to University Hospital, but he is expected to be OK.

Just minutes after the report of the shooting, a person called 911 to say they had been shot in the leg and were somewhere along I-264. That victim arrived at University Hospital in a car. Police said the man, who is 18-years-old, also suffered injuries that are not life-threatening.

Police believe both shooting victims came from the Tazwell Drive scene.

Neither victim has been identified.
