Three teenagers have become the city's latest victims of gun violence.Investigators say the teens were shot early Sunday near the intersection of 16th and Jefferson streets.Police have no information on whoever shot the two 14-year-olds and one 15-year-old.Activist Christopher 2x spoke with one of the 14-year-olds.He says she was shot twice.“Basically she's concerned about her cousin, who was also unfortunately injured. She's 14 years old and then another 15-year-old friend of theirs,” 2x said.Metro police believe the three girls were attending an event at Club 116 in the 100 block of East Main Street earlier in the night when they got into an altercation.We're told they left the club, but were followed by the shooters who eventually caught up with them near the intersection of 16th and Jefferson streets.It was around 2:30 a.m. when shots rang out.The three were then rushed to Kosair Children's Hospital by personal means.“They were shaken from the incident, you know, like she described to me, it's painful,” 2x said.Painful, 2x says, because more and more young people are falling victim to gun violence in Louisville.“This is becoming, for some, a normal part of their world, which shouldn't be a normal part of their world,” 2x said.As an activist, he works closely with several gunshot wound survivors who hold regular events to preach a message of nonviolence.One of those movements, Bullets Have No Eyes, focuses on female victims.“It's a personal advocacy deal to explain the pitfalls and the whole idea of how we got to keep warning the young about the trappings of what violence entails,” 2x said.As for the three teenage girls injured Sunday, police said they will recover.The 14-year-old victims have already been released from the hospital.Anyone with information about this case you are asked to call police at 502-574-LMPD.
