LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (AP) — The owner of an Indianapolis towing company died and seven others were injured in a shooting at a Kentucky nightclub early Saturday morning.

Officers with the Louisville Metro Police Department said they responded to a call that several people had been shot at the H20 nightclub in Louisville shortly before 1 a.m.

One man, 40-year-old Joseph D. Bowers of Indianapolis, was pronounced dead at the scene. Another adult was taken to UofL Hospital with gunshot wounds that police consider “critical and life-threatening.” Six other people were self-transported to the hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening.

The Louisville Metro Police Department’s Homicide Unit is investigating the case. There are no suspects.

Louisville Mayor Craig Greenburg said in a statement on X: “We must do more to stop the gun violence that plagues our city.”

“LMPD is working hard to arrest those responsible. They believe many people may have witnessed this shooting,” Greenburg wrote Saturday. “We need everyone’s help to put an end to gun violence in our community.”
