Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear confirmed on Tuesday that he was aware of reports of a shooting at Kentucky State University in Frankfort, with some injuries reported and a suspect in custody.
The Frankfort Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook earlier Tuesday that they have secured the campus, but that the school is still in lockdown. The number of injuries was not immediately clear, nor was the extent of the injuries.
“We are aware of a reported shooting at Kentucky State University in Frankfort,” Beshear wrote on X. “At this time, we are aware of some injuries. We will share more information as available. Law enforcement are on scene, and a suspect has been arrested. Let’s pray for all those affected.”
This story is developing and will be updated.
