JCTC: No shooter, no injuries

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Jefferson Community & Technical College has issued the all-clear following a nearly hourlong incident in which armed officers were trying to defuse an "active aggressor" situation.

An initial search of the JCTC technical building found no shooter and no injuries. SWAT officers were directed to stand down at about 4:15 p.m. The initial call about a shot fired was made at about 3:30 p.m., though that report remains unconfirmed.

The building is located at 8th and Chestnut streets in downtown Louisville.

JCTC sent a text alert to students referencing a "violent incident" and telling them to "evacuate safely or seek cover in a locked room if possible."

Two students told WAVE 3 News' Scott Reynolds that when they heard the commotion across the street, they came outside and saw armed officers hustling into the building.

It's unclear if anyone has been taken into custody.
