Two people have died following a shooting at a crowded park in Louisville, Kentucky, during an annual Thanksgiving series of youth football games.

The fatal shootings took place at Shawnee Park in Louisville, which had been hosting the annual "Juice Bowl", a Thanksgiving tradition that goes back decades.

The shots were first reported at 1:51pm local time. Louisville Metro Police Department confirmed that two men were killed and four more people have been left injured.

Police spokesman Dwight Mitchell revealed to reporters that the four survivors suffered non-life-threatening injuries.


No one has been arrested in connection with the shootings.

Local media is reporting that that police blocked off a large portion of the park after the shooting. However, at least one game continued.
