LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Two people were shot and killed in southwest Jefferson County on Sunday evening, according to Louisville Metro Police.
LMPD officer Maj. Micah Scheu said the fatal shooting occurred on Lyons Avenue, near Dixie Highway, around 5:30 p.m.
Scheu said a man and juvenile female both died at the scene.
"It's a very difficult situation, especially when there's juveniles involved," Scheu said. "A lot of us are parents, I'm a parent. It hits home really hard to see how many juveniles have been injured or killed this year. It's a very tragic thing to see."
Police haven't said if the man and child knew each other.
There were no suspects as of Sunday evening, but the investigation remains ongoing.
