The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office issued a statement late Friday identifying the victims from earlier in the day as ranging in age from 18 to 33 years old. Officers who responded around noon Friday found one man dead at the scene and two wounded women, who later died after being taken to a hospital, according to Louisville Metro Police Department.

The coroner’s statement said that the man, 18-year-old Leslye M. Harbin Jr., died of multiple gunshot wounds at the scene, while the two women, 33-year-old Antwanette Chillers and 29-year-old Raysa Pacios Valdes, each died of a gunshot wound at a hospital.

Authorities have not said whether the victims knew each other or knew whoever was responsible for the shooting.

Are suggesting that masked gunmen randomly murdering innocent people in line at the DMV is somehow not newsworthy?

What the actual FUCK, THIS SUMMARY LEAVES OUT MAJOR CRITICAL VITAL INFORMATION

MULTIPLE masked gunmen! UNIDENTIFIED! they have no fucking clue who they even ARE?! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THE HEADLINE SHOULD BE "UNIDENTIFIED MASKED GUNMEN ATTACK PUBLIC CIVIL SERVICE OFFICE, MURDERING THREE"

UNIDENTIFIED! they have no fucking clue who they even ARE?!

And there's a good chance they won't. Three dead, but no CEO was harmed. There won't be a nationwide manhunt, and the police won't do anything beyond the bare minimum that is required.

I don't understand why the summary would leave out the witness statements.

Witnesses said the chaos unfolded at the busy office, which had a line out the door. Jalen Eddings told WHAS-TV that he had gone to the office but went back to his car to wait out the long line when the shooting unfolded nearby. He said two masked men shot the man multiple times, including as he lay on the ground, before they ran off. He said he didn’t see them fire at the women.
