In August 2019, a gun scare prompted a tense moment at the Kentucky State Fair. Panic over the possibility of a mass shooting led to a violent exchange between fairgoers and a Louisville police officer that was caught on a video. Following this, a number of individuals said that there might have been an active shooter who had heard these episodes.
Active Shooter At Large
In one of the videos, which were shared on Facebook and Twitter, the cop can be seen shoving two different people and yelling at a crowd of people around the fountains in front of Freedom Hall. In other footage, a cop can be seen shoving two separate persons and shouting at a crowd of people around the fountains in front of Freedom Hall.
As mentioned in the Courier-Journal news, In close proximity to the location where authorities suspect a gun was shot, shell casings were found at the Kentucky State Fair. Ultimately, the State Police persisted in seeking to charge the male juvenile who they believed fired the gun with wanton endangerment. Police claim a teenage group had laughed at a firework, causing mayhem, and seven more minors who attended the fair were cited.
According to the Kentucky State Police, it is unlikely that the suspect was aiming at anyone in the crowd or had malicious intent; it was not deemed to be an active shooter scenario. Due to large crowds, the scene of the incident was not cleared, and the films that have been posted may not always accurately depict what occurred before the recording began.
This year, the Kentucky State Fair’s officials had planned some safety measures and security strategies. They instituted a policy requiring minors to be joined by a parent or guardian at the fair. Regardless of the planning, they are forced to take the move to close the infamous fair.
