    Five people were killed and at least eight more wounded by a gunman who opened fire inside a Louisville bank early Monday morning, police said.

    Two of those injured inside the Old National Bank, were police officers, one of whom was in critical condition. The suspect is dead, according to police. It is not clear if the suspect was counted as one of the people who were killed.

    The shooting happened near Louisville Slugger Field, a minor-league baseball stadium inside the city.

    "LMPD has confirmed a shooting situation in downtown Louisville with multiple casualties," Kentucky Democratic Governor Andy Beshear said in a statement. "I am headed there now. Please pray for all of the families impacted and for the city of Louisville."

    Video taken of the incident showed a heavy response for law enforcement officials who told people to get out of the area because there was an active shooter at the bank. Multiple gun shots can be heard in the video.

    WATCH:


    ABC News reported that it appears as though the suspect was a previous or former employee of the bank.

    "We believe this is a lone gunman who did have a connection to the bank," said Louisville Metro Police Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey.

    The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) and local Federal Bureau of Investigation field office said that federal agents were dispatched to help deal with the incident.

    "FBI Louisville special agents have responded to the scene of this morning's shooting in downtown Louisville and are assisting our law enforcement partners," the FBI's Louisville field office said.

    The ATF later confirmed that there was no longer a threat to the surrounding community.
