Multiple suspects are believed to be on the loose in Louisville, Kentucky, after a shooting outside a community college left one dead and another wounded on Monday, authorities said.
The shooting happened at 11:30 a.m. at the corner of South 8th Street and West Chestnut Streets outside the Jefferson Community and Technical College/Technical Campus, Maj. Russel Miller of the Louisville Police Department told reporters.
Out of reverence for those involved in shootings that have occurred today, all campuses will close at 12:00.

The incident was unrelated to the shooting that occurred hours earlier at an Old National Bank location in the city, Miller said. Five people were killed â including the gunman â and eight others were injured in that incident.
The victim killed in the shooting outside the school building was identified as a male. No details about the wounded victim were immediately available.
Russel said the Homicide Unit is investigating and working to get video from the school to help identify the suspects.
