Five people, including the suspect, are dead and three others are injured after a shooting at a birthday party early Saturday in northern Kentucky.

Officers responded to multiple calls of an active shooter at a residence in Florence around 3 a.m.

When officers arrived, shots were still being fired and there were two victims in front of the residence, Florence Police Chief Jeff Mallery said at a news conference Saturday afternoon.

Four victims were pronounced dead at the scene and three others were transported to a local hospital and are in stable condition. They are expected to make a full recovery, according to police.

“We’ve never dealt with this before. I know it has gone on throughout the nation, but this is the first time that we’ve had a mass shooting in Florence,” Mallery said. “It is very emotional.”
