One person has been killed and four others injured in a shooting at an outdoor concert in Lexington, Kentucky. The shooting happened at about 18:45 local time on Saturday at Charles Young Park, police said.<\/p>\n
Two of those injured were children, aged 14 and four, while the other two were adults. All four were taken to a nearby hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.<\/p>\n
No details have been released about the identity of the person who died, the other victims or a possible suspect. No arrests had been made as of Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
Police said there was no longer any threat to the public.<\/p>\n
The shooting happened about a mile and a half from a Kentucky Democratic Party dinner attended by Governor Andy Beshear.<\/p>\n
Beshear told those at the dinner: "Before I continue, I do need to let y\u2019all know we do have some tough news tonight."<\/p>\n
"About a mile and a half from here, we\u2019ve had a shooting actually since we started this dinner," he said.<\/p>\n
"We have five people that I think received injuries and probably have one deceased," he added, before assuring diners that the situation had been resolved.<\/p>\n
Beshear later said: "To stop mass shootings, we have got to elect Democrats that will actually do something about it."<\/p>\n
Lexington Police Chief Lawrence Weathers urged people to report anyone they believed might pose a threat.<\/p>\n
"If you know somebody who might be inclined to use a weapon, please do anything you can do to let us know before something happens. Please let us know," he said at a news conference.<\/p>\n
The shooting came hours after another shooting at Virginia State University on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
