Three people on Friday were shot and killed outside a Louisville, Kentucky motor vehicle office, in what authorities are calling a "deliberate act."
The shooting took place at a driver's license branch in the 6200 block of Willismore at around noon, the Louisville Metro Police Department (MPD) said.
When police arrived on the scene, they found one man shot dead in the parking lot.

Two women, who were also found with gunshot wounds, were taken to a nearby hospital and later succumbed to their injuries, the MPD said in a statement.
Louisville Metro Police Department Maj. Donald Boeckman told reporters that there was no ongoing threat to the public.
LMPD spokesperson John Bradley later clarified to Fox News Digital that no suspects were identified, but "there is no indication this violent act has, or is going to, extend beyond the event which occurred."

Boeckman said the suspect or suspects left in a vehicle.
He did not have a description of the vehicle and said investigators were still reviewing surveillance video.
"This was a deliberate act, and investigators are working to determine the exact nature of the shooting (i.e. were any of the victims targeted)," Bradley wrote in a statement to Fox News Digital. "A clearer picture will (no doubt) come into focus for us as the investigation matures."
