It comes just hours after another shooting at Blue Grass Airport that ended at the Richmond Road Baptist Church in Lexington on Sunday morning where a state trooper was shot.
In a statement, Louisville Metro Police Department said there was an “active aggressor” at the Fairgrounds but that no victims have been found.
“Please avoid the area due to a heavy police presence,” they said.
Thousands flooded the location over the weekend for the Run 4 the Roses Classic and the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League and Champions Youth Basketball League.
Footage of the basket ball courts shared online showed people leaving the area as a siren rang out.
The LMPD have confirmed that no shots have been fired and that there are no shooting victims.
All basketball has finished for the day with officials not allowing reentry following the incident.
