One person is in critical condition after two people were shot Monday afternoon in a workplace incident at Cardinal Kitchens on Hiawatha Avenue.Emergency crews responded to the scene, which is near Crittenden Drive, around 1:30 p.m.Two Cardinal Kitchens employees were injured.Police secured the facility and made sure nobody else was in danger."Apparently, there was some sort of altercation between several employees,” Louisville Metro Police Department spokesman Phil Russell said.Cardinal Kitchens is a residential and commercial kitchen counter-top company on Hiawatha Avenue, near the airport.Police said the suspect took off after shooting two men."What we believe, at this time, we don't believe it is some sort of an active shooter situation, as much as it was some type of altercation between employees,” Russell said.Employees said word of an earlier fight spread quickly around the workplace and then, sometime later, the shooting."Two have been injured. One was transported to University Hospital. The other victim transported himself,” Russell said.One man was shot in the chest and is undergoing surgery. He was last reported in critical condition.The man who drove himself to the hospital is expected to survive.Police closed several roads around the business as they secured the area and searched for the suspect.The business is surrounded by homes."I just came home for my lunch break and was wondering why there wasn't any parking and I see tape and trying to figure out what's going on. It's pretty disturbing to see this is happening, cause it's usually a quiet area,” said Kori Kilgore, who lives nearby.Police are saying little about the suspect other than they interviewed multiple employees to make sure they knew exactly who it was."And then it's kind of spooky to see he's missing. So, I don't know, hopefully he just gets caught,” Kilgore said.Anyone with information can contact the Louisville Metro Police Department at 502-574-LMPD.
