2 teens taken into custody after police say they fired a stolen gun near The Healing Place in Louisville

Louisville police took two teenagers into custody Nov. 13 after officers responded to reports of an active aggressor near The Healing Place in the 100 block of West Market Street, according to WAVE. Police were called about 10:40 a.m., the station reported, after someone reported shots and an ongoing threat in the area of the nonprofit’s location.

WAVE reported that officers arrived and worked to secure the vicinity while investigating the incident, which included allegations that the teens fired a stolen gun. The report says the firearm involved was stolen, and that the teenagers were ultimately detained at the scene rather than after a prolonged search.

As police responded, The Healing Place and nearby businesses and pedestrians were affected by the law-enforcement activity, WAVE reported. The station’s photos showed a police presence near the organization during the response period, reflecting the heightened public-safety posture associated with active-threat calls.

Details on whether anyone was injured during the alleged gunfire were not included in the information provided by WAVE. The station also did not specify what charges, if any, had been filed or which court would ultimately handle the case.

The next steps in the process will likely involve confirmation of the firearm’s origin, tracing the stolen gun, and compiling evidence to determine what each suspect knew and did during the incident. Investigators also typically seek witness statements and review any available surveillance video from nearby locations to establish a timeline of events.
