Early Saturday morning, a tragic incident occurred in Florence, Kentucky during a party at a private residence. The city's police chief, Jeff Mallery, shared that four individuals lost their lives and three others were injured in the shooting. It was a chaotic scene as police arrived at the home around 2:50 a.m. and heard gunshots being fired.
Mallery shared with the media during a news conference that upon arrival, police found seven victims who had been shot. Out of the seven, four were found to be deceased. The remaining three were transported to a hospital in Cincinnati in critical condition, but Mallery reassured that they were expected to recover.
The suspect, who was responsible for this heinous act, fled the scene in a vehicle and led police on a pursuit. The chase ended when the suspect's car veered off the road and into a ditch. Sadly, the suspect had a self-inflicted gunshot wound and passed away at the hospital.
The police have confirmed that the suspect acted alone and there is no longer a threat to the public. Mallery also shared that the reason behind this senseless violence is still under investigation. It was revealed that the party was a birthday celebration for the homeowner's son, who turned 21. Tragically, the homeowner also lost his life in the shooting.
Mallery expressed his emotions during the press conference, stating that even though he is aware of the ongoing mass shootings in the nation, this is the first time something like this has happened in Florence. He further added that it is a very emotional time for everyone involved, including the victims, their families, the responding officers, and the entire community.
To provide some context, Florence is located about 12 miles south of Cincinnati, Ohio. The community is deeply saddened by this tragedy and is coming together to support one another during this difficult time. Our hearts go out to all those affected by this senseless act of violence.
