A mass shooting in Northern Kentucky early Saturday left four people dead, in addition to the shooter, and several others injured.
Boone County Coroner Missy Rittinger said the shooting happened at about 3 a.m. at a party in Florence. Four people died at the scene.
She said there was a pursuit involving the person responsible for the shooting, and that person died as well.
The four victims who died at the scene are all believed to be adults, Rittinger said. Their identities were not immediately released.
“Everything is still under investigation,” Rittinger said. “We’re still working the scene.”
Florence, a burgeoning suburb of Cincinnati, is about 70 miles north of Lexington.
Three other people who were injured in the shooting, which happened on Ridgecrest Drive, were taken to a hospital, Cincinnati television station WLWT reported. They were reportedly in critical but stable condition Saturday morning, according to the NBC affiliate.
Police were called regarding an active shooter at the scene, according to Cincinnati TV station WXIX.
The suspect fled, but police soon found his vehicle and pursued it until the vehicle crashed into a ditch on Dale Heimbrock Way, Florence police told WXIX, a Fox affiliate.
They said they found the shooter with a self-inflicted wound and took him to a hospital, where he died.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
