**Violence Erupts Again in Louisville’s West End — Residents Demand Action**
**LOUISVILLE, KY** — Another weekend of gunfire has rocked Louisville’s West End, leaving three injured and one dead in what residents are calling a “war zone.” The shooting occurred late Saturday night near 24th and Broadway, a block notorious for gang activity, drug trafficking, and ongoing turf wars. Locals say they are tired of living in fear and feel forgotten by city officials.
“Every night we hear shots. You don’t know if you’re next,” said Angela Thomas, a mother of four who’s lived in the area for 15 years. “It’s like nobody cares because it’s the hood.”
Community leaders blame systemic neglect and lack of opportunity, while others point to rising gang violence and a lack of police presence. Social media is ablaze with debate — some call for more policing, others demand investment in education and jobs.
The Louisville Metro Police Department has yet to make arrests. A spokesperson says the investigation is ongoing and asks anyone with information to come forward.
The city’s silence isn’t sitting well with residents. “We need more than thoughts and prayers. We need change,” one neighbor said.
