LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A Louisville man was arrested Wednesday afternoon following a shooting incident in the Park Hill neighborhood.
According to the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD), officers responded to reports of a shooting at the intersection of South 23rd Street and Woodland Avenue at approximately 4:20 p.m. Upon arrival, authorities discovered a woman who had sustained a gunshot wound to the groin. She was immediately transported to University Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
