LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WJLA) — A community college in Louisville, Kentucky was briefly locked down on Friday afternoon following a report of a loud sound that a 911 caller believed could have been gunfire.

“Police and eight other agencies responded to the scene searching for a potential shooter.”Officers did secure the building around 4:15 this afternoon. There was nothing found,” the spokesman said. “We were very grateful for that.”
A small day care center in one campus building was evacuated.
