Police in Elizabethtown are investigating after a man was shot at a motel.

The shooting occurred at approximately 5:00 Monday afternoon at the Days Inn at 2010 North Mulberry Street (Hwy 62), according to a report by The News-Enterprise. The motel is located behind a Denny’s restaurant, near the I-65 interchange.

Elizabethtown Police Department spokesman Chris Denham told the newspaper that the victim was conscious at the scene. He was airlifted to University of Louisville Hospital.

A heavy police presence could be see on the second floor of the motel, in the back of the building.

The investigation is ongoing and police have not yet released additional information, including whether the shooter is being sought. According to the Hardin County Detention Center, no one was lodged into the facility on Monday with a charge that coincides with being a suspect in a shooting (e.g. first-degree assault, attempted murder).
