A 9-year-old boy is now dead after being shot at a home on Ailanthus Trail in Newburg on Wednesday night.

The incident happened at around 10 PM and the boy had already been driven to the hospital by the time law enforcement arrived.

“This is somebody’s child that they won’t get ready for school tomorrow, and that just breaks my heart,” said Louisville Metro Police Department Major Corey Robinson. “It just does. It breaks my heart.”
