C1 3 lexington's fayette mall... :07-:12 from monica: he pulled his gun and it was face level and he shot that man right in the head a frantic suspect search...people running to safety...we'll take you to the scene.

And...in kentucky history treasures...it's early lexington women who get the credit for giving some of the state's first settlers a fighting chance against invaders.

Weekend open good evening and welcome in, i'm tom kenny.

And, i'm veronica jean seltzer...we're glad you're here tonight.

The search continues for the suspect or suspects in this afternoon's shooting inside fayette mall in lexington that left one dead, two wounded and hundreds of shoppers fearing for their lives.

The victim's names haven't been released.

Lexington police say it happened around four near bath and body works.

Police say there was an officer in the mall not far from the shooting scene which led to a quick and massive police response.

The emergency response unit was called-in...dozens of officers...k-9 units...a helicopter searching for suspects from the air...a stretch of busy nicholasville road closed...customers and people who work in the mall evacuated to lextran buses brought to the scene as police searched the one- million square foot mall.

The police chief says the people involved know each other or are at least familiar with each other and that the "intended target" may have known the suspect.

Abc 36's monica harkins was on scene as all of this unfolded....she joins us 'live' outside the mall where she talked to an eyewitness.

It was an emotional day...thankfully police say this was an isolated shooting...not an active shooter situation...still from what i could tell hundreds of people were at the mall...and many shaken from the experience.

This is the voice of emily who didnt want to show her face because she says she was within feet of the shooting....so she fears retaliation.

"emily audio...one of them got mad and said i'll show you who the bleep is now.

And he pulled his gun and it was face level and he shot that man right in the head he had.

...and then they booked it.

We all ran to the back.

They shut us in the back door and they locked the door."

Emily says she was in bath and body works when the fight broke out....as she ran to the back she says she heard four shots.

"emily: pow pow pow pow."

Lexington police confirmed it was an isolated shooting.

Meanwhile...this is linda...she says she was in dillards when she heard the shots.

"linda: run that was my emotion and everybody else's.

Everybody was just trying to get out of there.

It was hundreds of people."

Some people in the mall geting stuck inside as stores began to lockdown....i spoke to one family off camera who was separated..and reunited about an hour later.

They say it was a traumatizing experience... linda agrees... linda"very traumatizing.

All we can do is pray for the people that got shot.

We gotta get better."

Get better...as in stop gun violence.

Emily felt the same... "this is just stupid.

You've got your whole life...and now it's just gone..this is just stupid."

Emergency personnel were on c1 3 hand tonig training plane...evacuating from florida...ahead of storms...had trouble with its landing gear at blue grass airport in lexington.

The plane is a t-6 texan two...like this one.

The airport says the pilot was the only person on- board and radioed ahead when he couldn't get his landing gear to go down.

He eventually got it down manually and landed safely just before ten.

The pilot was not hurt.

Less than a week after school started...lexington catholic has decided it will switch from in-person to virtual learning beginning tomorrow...after parents and the health department reported students are testing positive.

A letter from the school to parents didn't say how many students have tested positive...just that the decision was made on short notice to keep the school community as healthy and safe as possible.

The school says it's tentatively planning to return to in-person classes on september 8th.

### calling it "a regrettable error," the university of kentucky found out this weekend a spreadsheet containing negative covid-19 test results and personal information of several hundred students and a few employees... was left vulnerable.

Anyone with an active u-k email address could see it.

Names... dates of birth...and the test results could be seen on a public microsoft sharepoint file the school's contact tracing team was using to share information internally, according to the university.

The spreadsheet included people who tested negative for the virus during the last two weeks of u-k's initial round of mandatory testing.

The school says all the data has been moved to a more secure and private location.

U-k says it will reach out this week to those who may have been impacted.

The university has an email address for anyone with questions and a website that will have updates...we have links to both at wtvq.com.

According to the governor's office...tonight kentucky has achieved a four- week plateau of coronavirus cases...which is good news...but the governor says we still need to see those numbers steadily decline.

According to the governor...there are 467 new cases today...a total of 43,529 in the state.

79 of the new cases were from children ages 18 and younger...with the youngest just three days old.

The governor also reported nine new deaths today...raising the death toll to 881.

Eviction hearings are set to resume tomorrow in kentucky for the first time since march when the governor ordered police to stop serving eviction notices to people not paying rent.

A lot of people are concerned it's too soon to be allowing evictions again when people are still struggling to survive financially.

There are anti- eviction rallies planned for tomorrow and tuesday outside the justice center.

The governor said last week he'll announce a new program tomorrow that will use federal coronavirus relief money to help landlords and renters.

C1 3 required men and women of fortitude to stand against great violent opposition.

We'll examine just one example at brian's station and discover how exceptionally brave women in that community gave them a fighting chance.

Dana zinger: brian's station was a fort, founded about 1776 in fayette county in what was then virginia.

It consisted of about 40 cabins in a parallelogram, and some of the inhabitants included close relatives of daniel boone as well as the future vice president of the united states, richard mentor johnson, when he was an infant.

Dana zinger: the night of august 15th, 1782, the fort was surrounded by a group of about 500 native americans, british and canadian rangers, led by two british captains.

And this was during the end of the revolutionary war.

So a lot of people don't realize fayette county had a connection to the revolutionary war.

The group of attackers, they were concealed among the corn, the hemp crop at that time, and the forest that surrounded the fort.

The attackers were not aware that the settlers knew their presence.

So, the settlers spent the night preparing for an attack silently and then the very next morning they knew they had to have water in order to survive an attack.

Dana zinger: business as usual, not to alarm the attackers because fetching water at that time was a chore of women.

So, if the men went out there, the attackers would know that they were aware of their presence.

They sent the women and the women without hesitation grabbed their buckets, went out, and the very nerve wracking long process, fetched the water.

Nerve wracking because they knew concealed just mere feet away were attackers ready to go.

Dana zinger: bravely they fetch the water.

They were able to return into the fort.

It gave them the opportunity to prepare, to make sure that their long rifles were ready to go and ready to defend.

And it also gave them the chance to do this without the attackers knowing that they knew that they were out there and surrounded.

The siege ended up victorious for the settlers.

Eventually the attackers realized that reinforcements were on their way, and so they abandoned their efforts and honestly, largely in part to the water that they were able to retrieve for the fort and the bravery of those women without hesitation going and getting that water without even questioning it, is amazing to me.

Dana zinger: in our collections, we have a rifle from 1780 that was supposedly used in the attack, in the siege, to defend the fort.

Also in our collection, we have a little dress, a toddler size dress that was supposedly by betsy grant, a niece of daniel boone, two years old at the time of the siege, and legend has it that she actually wore this dress during the siege.

### l3: abc 36 sports white 36 blitz continues with boyle county tune in monday at 5 pm after back-to-back trips to c1 3 seasons.

Now..

Heading into 2020..

They might have the team to get back to their winning ways.

The 36 blitz rolls on as we catch up with the ads.

With just 8 wins in c1 3 the past two seasons..

The danville admirals are tired of losing.

The ads return plenty of experience from last season..

But this is still very much a young team.

Thankfully..

Thought..

There's a lot of senior talent and experience along the offensive line.

One of those strong athletes is running back caleb burns..

Who rushed for nearly 800 yards in the final five games of 2019.

The schedule is going to be hard once again with lca and somerset in the district..

Plus match-ups against boyle county and madison central.

Still..

There's no backing down with this group.

That confidence is why the ads expect a healthy increase in wins in 2020.

With the danville admirals..

The coronavirus- delayed indy 500 happened this afternoon and ended under caution...how fitting...it's just been that kind of year.

Takuma sato won his second 500...holding off scott dixon.

Sato passed dixon after the last round of pit stops and held him off.

Sato won the 500 in 2017.

Sato's teammate...graham rahal was third.

This is the rahal team's second indy 500....having won with buddy rice in 2004.

We'll be right back with a final check of the forecast.

We don't have enough folks in congress just having a law degree doesn't make you somebody.

Who know what that feels like.
