The shooting happened before 8 p.m. Thursday night at the Harbor House Christian House in Henderson, Kentucky.
The Henderson Police Department said officers responded to a call of an active shooter in the building, when they arrived they found the four people who had been shot. All were residents at the shelter.
One victim died at the scene and another at the hospital. Police identified the two men who died as Steven Wathen, 67, and Chad Holmes, 44. The conditions of the other two men, ages 33 and 41, have not been updated other than to say their injuries were "life-threatening."
