Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear issued an emotional statement following the mass shooting that killed four and injured nine others on April 10 at a Louisville bank that he once used as a campaign headquarters.

“This is awful. I have a very close friend that didn’t make it today. And I have another close friend who didn’t either, and one who’s at the hospital,” Beshear said.
