Description
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said he personally knew three of the people shot during a mass shooting Monday morning at a Louisville bank.
Four people were killed and nine were hospitalized after a 23-year-old gunman opened fire inside Old National Bank, near the Louisville Slugger Field and Waterfront Park. One of those killed was a close friend of Beshear.
"Today I'm hurt and I'm hurting and I know so many people out there are as well. We lost four children of God today, one of whom was one of my closest friends," the governor said during a Monday afternoon press conference. "Tommy Elliot helped me build my law career, helped me become governor, gave me advice on being a good dad. One of the people I talk to most in the world and very rarely were we talking about my job."
Earlier in the day, an emotional Beshear had said two of his friends were among the dead and acknowledged he got incorrect info. The governor praised the quick law enforcement response, which he said saved peoples' lives including two of his friends.
"One I received incorrect information this morning I thought was gone and I'd started to mourn and now I know he's okay. And one I got to see in the E.R., that while it's going to take him a while to heal, it's so good to see my friend, see him there with his wife and know he is still with us," Beshear said.
