2 dead in shooting on downtown Warsaw street

Two men are dead of gunshot wounds in a suspected murder-suicide in Warsaw Monday morning, according to Gallatin County Emergency Management Agency.

Gallatin Schools were placed on a one-hour delay as a precaution shortly after the shooting was reported about 4:45 a.m. on West Main Street.

Authorities initially thought a third person might be involved and be at large, said Brandon Terrell, EMA director. Once authorities talked with witnesses, however, they dismissed that theory.

Schools are now expected to open at 9 a.m., he said.

One of the men died at the scene, he said. The other was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

The men do not appear to be local, but it remains unclear what led up to the incident, he added.

The Gallatin County Coroner's Office, Gallatin County Sheriff's Office and Kentucky State Police all remain on scene investigating.

“They had a situation with some subjects walking out on the street. It went downhill very fast," a Kentucky State Police dispatcher said.
