LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Three men were injured in a series of shootings across Louisville late Monday night and early Tuesday morning, according to the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD).

The first shooting occurred around 10:20 p.m. on Monday in the 3000 block of Greenwood Avenue, located in the Parkland neighborhood.

Just after midnight on Tuesday, police were called to the 2100 block of Algonquin Parkway in response to a stabbing. However, the situation was later updated to a shooting incident. When officers arrived, they found a man with a gunshot wound. Officers again rendered aid until EMS and Louisville Fire crews took over, transporting the victim to UofL Hospital.

The third shooting occurred around 1 a.m. on Tuesday in the 7500 block of Garrison Road, near Fairdale. Officers arrived at the scene to find a man with a gunshot wound to his leg.
