The victims’ identities haven’t been released, and police didn’t release any information about what may have happened.
A large crowd gathered at the scene as police blocked off an area extending two or three houses away from the corner.
Lauren E. Roberts of the Jefferson County Public Schools released a statement saying, “I’ve been informed that we have five elementaries on heightened security due to shootings in the downtown area. They include Engelhard, Byck, Brandeis, Maupin and Carter. The schools are not on lockdown-they are on a high security level purely as a precaution.
“Those students living at 24th 25 and 26 and Elliot neighborhood where we have a bus stop (approximately 40 students) are being taken to Central high school if we can’t deliver them home.
“Any affected students will call their parents from central and parents can pick them up or we will deliver them home when the area is cleared.
