One person was killed and four victims were injured in a mass shooting at an outdoor concert in Kentucky on Saturday.
The shooting took place in Lexington and was barely a mile away from an event where Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear was holding a Kentucky Democratic Party dinner.
Authorities say two of the victims injured were children ages 14 and 4, while the other two injured were adults. All four were taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
“Before I continue, I do need to let y’all know we do have some tough news tonight,” Beshear said at his event after hearing of the shooting.

“About a mile and a half from here, we’ve had a shooting actually since we started this dinner,” he continued.
“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.
“To stop mass shootings, we have got to elect Democrats that will actually do something about it,” Beshear said.
Authorities say the shooting took place at around 6:45 p.m. in Charles Young Park. They did not offer any details about the victims, the deceased person or a suspect.

The incident came on the heels of another mass shooting at Virginia State University on Saturday morning.
