LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The owner of Atomic, a nightclub on Bardstown Road, disputes Louisville Metro Police’s account of where a woman was shot early Sunday, saying the gunfire happened behind a neighboring bar rather than behind Atomic.
Police said the woman was shot in an alley behind a Louisville bar. She was taken to UofL Hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, according to the police report summarized by local media.
The disagreement centers on the location of the shooting in the Highlands nightlife district. The owner’s account places it behind the adjacent establishment, not Atomic. The available accounts do not explain what evidence police used to identify the location or whether investigators have revised their description.
No further details about the woman or a suspect were provided in the available information.
