LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A person was arrested after reports that shots were fired inside an apartment building in downtown Louisville on Saturday night.

According to Officer Beth Ruoff of the Louisville Metro Police Department responded to a report of gunshots in the 500 block of Third Street around 7:15 p.m.

Ruoff says police found and detained a suspect in that investigation. That suspect was Levi Poore, who was arrested and charged with wanton endangerment.

There was also an active structure fire inside the building at the same time. Ruoff says the fire appears to be under control as Louisville Fire Department and LMPD are "working together to ensure the safety of all residents."

"No smell of smoke, no smoke in the air, everyone just walked down the stairs calmly, in an orderly fashion until they got to the street level and now here we are all standing on Third Street or on Guthrie Street," Ron, a resident of the apartment building who didn't share his last name, said.
