Authorities say several people were taken into custody for what officials called an “incident” at the Kentucky State Fair in Louisville. A family who witnessed the incident said that they “heard a loud pop, probably about 25-30 feet” behind them. WAVE’s Kennedy Hayes reports.

#Kentucky #Police #NBCNews
Americans are hostages to the gun lobby and gun fetish nuts. Take your gun to go get a gallon of milk, because you might get shot at the convience store? What a great country America is🤔
This is 3rd time I’ve taken em, first time they’ve been here?
I would say to the man from the great state of kentucky. That everyday you step out the front door could be your last. And that your daughter should gain strength not fear from this incident. In power her it is your job as a parent and you must lead her.
Why would the power go off if someone was shot… None of this makes sense.
These things are only gonna get more and worse because we’re not taking care of the root problems. And it’s not guns That are causing the problem.Those kids will find a way to get a gun no matter what laws you put in effect. We are not psychologically handling our children well, They are not learning most important virtues of life and they’re gonna stray and losing their minds because they’re under so much stress. The young people today don’t understand life at all, they have very little understanding of true life Or any virtues in life as well. I only know that things can only get worse because it seems that no one understands how to handle situations in this world. Mankind is only doomed to failure as they have in all of history. There is so much violence on television and video games and we never even think about those things. I remember when it 1st came out, video games of violence and things, people would fight back against those things but then, Nothing, We cannot stop these horrible evil things to come because they will Come. The world Has a savior because we cannot save ourselves But people have to want to be saved to find a savior.
What’s everyone worried about?? I’m sure there are good guys with guns all over the fair grounds!!
It’s one third of the equation. Citizens have a right to defend themselves and their livelihoods from deadly threat. Law enforcement service members should be on call and available in high numbers at an event like this (which fortunately was the case here). And most importantly, we need to address the mental health crisis in the country, sane people don’t commit crimes of senseless violence.
Everyone is a little bit right in this argument about mass shootings, but what’s wrong is thinking the extreme of any one side will fix the problem.
Lol
Yes just wait for all the victims of friendly fire to get out of the way … /s idiots with guns are what caused this.
Sitting on. The Dock Of The Bay😳
Stop going out at night, why yall people are worse, this will be the worst mass shooting
Thank God, praise the Lord, at least this wasn’t a school shooting .Kudos to the parents. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
School is just now starting again so be ready for the bloodbath.
The guy said it’s the 3rd time taking my kids to the fair and they have never been. 🤔
Bad DRILL actor.
Maybe he meant it was the 3rd time that week and prior to this year they had never been?
@Duke9023 idk how anyone yall missed that😂
He took them most likely 3 days in a row or 3 total days this year because they’ve never been. A little comprehension goes a long way. If you can’t figure that out, I’m guessing you say dumb sh*t alot too.
@MrChuckDeez – The guy is from Louisville, not small town Kentucky… he has Holy Cross on his shirt, that’s a school in Louisville. He also said “they’d” never been, as in before this year…this was the third day of their fair so perhaps they went these three days? Some people go multiple times.
I can understand and I don’t even live there, but close enough I guess (Indiana).
If you wanna hear other worldly Kentucky English, go far east to Appalachia.
Vote blue or get used to it.
Interesting angle🤔
Little exaggerated. That can happen anywhere.
The fair is BS!!! LOL
It’s my third time taking them, they never been before…. 🙄 When I tell you it’s important to listen…
I went down to comments to see if anyone else heard that?! haha
People in KY are uneducated! HAHAHA!
I heard that and was like umm.. maybe he meant they went three times so far this year because they’ve never been before that’s the only thing I can come up with 😂
@Brandy Fisler I’m go out on a limb an say, he meant as a family…
@Brandy Fisler – You are right. Idk how people can’t grasp that. I heard it as “they’d” never been, as in before this year and this was the third day of their fair, so perhaps they went these three days.
nonstory
I was the guy 00:13 mark softly laying flat on my stomach with my knees locked together with my butt cheeks pushed upwards towards the heavens…
Bad rides,don’t trust them,seems woman in ky are rusty also,glad they are ok
Soooo…did someone actually have a gun?
Guns guns and more guns – no let up. America is doomed.
Im a pickle riiiiick!
Welcome to life in a right wing Jesus state 😁
Their state is so right wing their governor is a liberal… crazy!
@Jason Milly that means nothing 🙂
Guns for everyone yallll😇
Go 2nd amendment! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This domestic terrorism is due to Trump’s supporters hate, these criminals need to have punishment for life
Soooo…. sounds like no one was shooting, maaaaaaybe an electrical issue… police said “looked like kid had a gun”… that’s the end of the story. America is SO traumatized by gun violence that a loud noise creates mass hysteria and the police tazing possibly an innocent kid at the fair. So happy I left the US years ago. This is terrible!
The Republican gun culture has lowered our quality of life and our life expectancy.
Merica…
Kentucky has their state fair in August?
No motives no nothing? Just a shooting and we move on? Cool.
Is it me or is this coverage a nothing -burger? I was left knowing nothing, no one confirmed a gun, no one confirmed a crime, only that a ride shut down and it frightened some people…and for some reason, we don’t know why. The cops tased a juvenile? Is that correct?😆
Sadly, this is what the refusal to address and rectify *”White Privilege & Domestic Terrorism”* has brought the United States too! Lmfao, and the *”White Caucasian Race’s”* need for *”anxiety medication”* just went up another 20%! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Wow you’re such a racist. Reported you for hate speech
What doesn’t a male ruin in this Life???
I didn’t take my family the fair just too many people knew someone would be stupid
😂😂😂😂
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Seems a little 🐟.
These news article be so full of 💩! They just want people to live in fear and be paranoid about EVERYTHING!🙃
People CAN’T live THEIR LIVES in fear based on other people’s phobias, anxieties, and insecurities. LIVE your LIVES people because what’s gonna be, gonna be!🙄 It is what it is!🤷🏽♀️
I stoped going years ago. When hundreds of unsupervised teens would go and take over and try to intimidate people and fight, stab and shoot people, it’s time for me to stay home.
It’s the culture
Who’s cultures…did you see a suspect…I didnt
Well, obviously the only solution is to arm even more people and encourage them to carry everywhere. That way people will feel even more secure if they hear the loud pop of a transformer blowing and they don’t have to panic.
Scary
I’m saddened that Moscow mitch wasn’t in attendance
So was there a gun or not?
This title is so vague
IT’S SHAME TO CELEBRATE OCCASIONS FOR CHRISTIANS UNTIL COUNTRY OF JESUS CHRIST PALESTINE IS OCCUPIED UNDER OCCUPATION FACING TORTURE GENOCIDE KILLINGS DESTRUCTION SINCE 70 YEARS STILL CONTINUES
USA NATO & CHRISTIANS MUST SEND MILITARY & ECONOMIC AIDS TO PALESTINIANS TO DEFEND ITSELF AGAINST OCCUPATION FORCE OF ISRAEL. SAVE COUNTRY OF JESUS CHRIST & ITS PEOPLE’S WAKE UP CHRISTIANS WAKE UP
It’s the Wild Wild West out there kids, arm yourselves.
ANY ACTION AGAINST OCCUPIED COUNTRY PALESTINE BY ISRAEL IS TERRORIST ACT CRIMINAL ACT. WHERE UN INTERNATIONAL COURT HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION DEMOCRACY LOVERS DIED. WHY WORLD LEADERS SUPPORTING ALLOWING OCCUPATION GENOCIDE TORTURE KILLINGS DESTRUCTION ON OCCUPIED COUNTRY PALESTINE SINCE MORE THAN 70 YEARS STILL CONTINUES. ITS BIG SHAME
Thank you white people for all of this. NO one’s EVER going to be safe anywhere anymore 🙄🤔
You parents raise some really stupid kids nowadays. We rode to school with rifles and shotguns in our windows, but that’s back when parents taught respect, integrity, and self control.
Nice reporting. Does anyone know what happened?
Nobody said it would be fair
The Commonwealth of Kentucky is ground zero for the boogaloo.
wow OMG CRAZY STORY!!!! HAHAHA WHY SO DRAMATIC!!! this why people dont TRUST the NEWS . what other sories have been blown out of proportion like this story?
A little over sensationalized story here?
“Officials from the Kentucky State Fair Board announced Sunday that operations will continue as normal after noise-making devices initially believed to be gunfire went off near the midway Saturday night, forcing festivities to shut down early.” -Louisville Courier Journal
Americans are becoming more and more pathetic every year. More and more identify as helpless. Those who choose safety over freedom deserve neither.
State fair goers just ran for life in the imagination of fear. It reminds the old days of screaming Fire in a crowded movie theater.
Except this is justifiable fear.
Anxiety? Well welcome to this planet! It happens all the time, you better explain it to your kids. We don’t live in a pink unicorn world.
Afraid of mass shootings but they still vote republican.
Who? Louisville? Lmao
I will only feel safe in any schools, churches, museums, zoos, malls, fairs, any establishment that has mass gathering if and only they implement airport like security where they make you go to metal detectors and search your pocket and purses. I don’t care about my freedom because with freedom there is no security..people do what they want, It’s extreme but that’s my safe world utopia.
I’m not even sure wtf I just watched
OVER REACTION!!!! Paranoid amerikkka!
When did Fear and Make-Believe take over?
another case of idiots with guns
Funny u say the ultra ego ? Thats why all u elite are greedy cowards cause ur ego
its way better to stay home but noone wants to and young kids really dont care till something bad happens. (No matter where you at ALWAYS BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDING ALWAYS KNOW THE EXIT IN CASUE OF ANYTHING.
There is no incident with this story. Nothing about a shooter. And the guy said its the 3rd time taking his girls, but they’ve never been?
this doesn’t happen in LA because everyone has guns in LA.
Weird
Imagine somebody having a GUN in the United States
so did the person have a gun or not?
welcome to the party pal
Same thing happened in oregon last year
“I would do it [study UFOs], but before agreeing to do it, we must insist upon full access to discs recovered. For instance, in the L.A. case, the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory examination.” J. Edgar Hoover-Director of FBI
The security guard called and said, “Sir, there’s a glowing red object hovering right outside the front gate. I’ve got all the men out here with their weapons drawn.” We lost between 16-18 ICBMs (nuclear tipped Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles) at the same time UFOs were in the area… (A high-ranking Air Force officer) said, “Stop the investigation; do no more on this and do not write a final report. I heard that many of the guards that reported the incident were sent off to Vietnam.” Captain Robert Salas, USAF, during a videotaped interview for the Disclosure program.
“A few insiders know the truth…and are studying the bodies that have been discovered.” -Dr. Edgar Mitchell Apollo 14..the 6th NASA employee to walk on the Moon.
“Maximum security exists concerning the subject of UFOs.” CIA Director, Allen Dulles, 1955.
“It’s still classified above Top Secret.” – Senator Barry Goldwater, 1975
“Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe that unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Former CIA Director, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, public statement, 1960.
“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false” -William Casey, CIA director, 1981
“Yes, there have been ET visitations. There have been crashed craft. There have been material and bodies recovered. There has been a certain amount of reverse engineering that has allowed some of these craft, or some components, to be duplicated. And there is some group of people that may or may not be associated with the government at this point that have this knowledge. They have been attempting to conceal this knowledge. People in high level government have very little, if any, valid information about this. It has been the subject of disinformation in order to deflect attention and create confusion so the truth doesn’t come out. ” ― Edgar D. Mitchell, The Way of the Explorer: An Apollo Astronaut’s Journey Through the Material and Mystical World
AFFIDAVIT (1) My name is Thomas Jefferson Dubose (2) My address is: XXXXXXXXXX (3) I retired from the U.S. Air force in 1959 with the rank of Brigadier General. (4) In July 1947, I was stationed at Fort Worth Army Air Field [later Carswell Air Force Base] in Fort Worth, Texas. I served as Chief of Staff to Major General Roger Ramey, Commander, Eighth Air Force. I had the rank of Colonel. (5) In early July, I received a phone call from Maj. Gen. Clements McMullen, Deputy Commander, Strategic Air Command. He asked what we knew about the object which had been recovered outside Roswell, New Mexico, as reported in the press. I called Col. William Blanchard, Commander of the Roswell Army Air Field, and directed him to send the material in a sealed container to me at Fort Worth. I so informed Maj. Gen. McMullen. (6) After the plane from Roswell arrived with the material, I asked the Base Commander, Col. Al Clark, to take possession of the material and to personally transport it in a B-26 to Maj. Gen. McMullen in Washington, D.C. I notified Maj. Gen. McMullen, and he told me he would send the material by personal courier on his plane to Benjamin Chidlaw, Commanding General of the Air Material Command at Wright Field [later Wright Patterson AFB]. The entire operation was conducted under the strictest secrecy. (7) The material shown in the photographs taken in Maj. Gen. Ramey’s office was a weather balloon. The weather balloon explanation for the material was a cover story to divert the attention of the press. (8) I have not been paid or given anything of value to make this statement, which is the truth to the best of my recollection. Signed: T. J. Dubose Date: 9/16/91 Signature witnessed by: Linda R. Split Notary Public, State of Florida
“There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself. “ — Daniel Inouye Senate Select Committee on Secret Military Assistance to Iran and the Nicaraguan Opposition (Iran-Contra hearings) (1987)
REMOTE VIEWING (a technique developed by our CIA and Stanford Research Institute) PER FARSIGHT INSTITUTE data suggests…Genesis 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven… AND..As the Quran has it, Prophet Muhammad took a night trip to heaven aboard a trusty winged pony-horse-mule-ish creature called Buraq…
Many other topics begin to make sense..
It has been said that after President Carter was finally briefed on the et reality, he was deeply upset. For several weeks..
MEANINGFUL congressional hearings, ala the Watergate hearings, including aerospace/defense contractors and others such as Bob Lazar, Andrew Basiago and Vice Admiral Thomas R. Wilson must be held to address a vital issue that transcends politics and we will never properly advance until it happens: The 75+yr ongoing-constitutionally illegal, EXTRATERRESTRIAL and associated TIME TRAVEL cover-ups. It would also be nice to know what the results of the many years/projects involving the back-engineering of recovered “vehicles” are. WE are footing the bill for that.. How can we truly believe anything our elected officials say?
The dog n pony shows must cease
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
@Brad H LOL!
“journalism” 🥴
Anxiety huh? Anxiety is the government that’ll never do the people justice with their shxtty work ethics and performance. Knowing usa could be more progressive without them is the American Dream.
Now THAT’S a fair!!
Welcome to the third world country nation of the Democrats. Many more to come probably
And the Iowa state fair was overcome by a bad storm and violent hail
Nowhere is safe! U🐝🐂💩N
Jackasses lit a firework
It was Aliens…👽 & the father was obviously under some kinda mind control
😪
Military operation. They attenpted to use us again to pull it off. Would have been worst most likely. Linked to Baghdad highway in Mojave and El Salvador 🇸🇻 gangs cartel and body snatching rings of HOLLY WOO
State fair should be in the state capital…..
Nice keep the gun to protect yourself and use it to shoot someone else. Unbelievable no where is safe!
OMG Blowing that incident way out of proportion. Nothing even happend
Everyday in the USA now,… SMH
People want a society full of guns. Get used to this. The more guns, the more gun violence. It isn’t rocket science.
Where was Kid Rock?
Woah, you need a Kentucky translator to understand what he said.. Albeit I’m not from Kentucky but I assume he meant, they’ve never been to the fair and so far he’s taken his kids 3x this summer.
I live just across the river in Indiana… that guy does not have your stereotypical Kentucky accent, probably because he’s from Louisville where the vast majority don’t. He might’ve said “they’d never been” as in before this year. This was the third day of it and perhaps they went these three days.
@Jason Milly makes more sense!
Can we start off with a subject first??? Geez! Gunshot at fair!
Get use to this type of behavior , this is just the beginning
I was at that fair but I’m okay don’t worry
So their experience was ruined forever over a f****** misunderstanding ?!Jesus Christ 😂
I was preforming in the show… it was last day I was there I literally left 5 minutes before this occurred…
