At least two persons died and five others were injured in a shooting outside a restaurant in downtown Louisville in the U.S. state of Kentucky early Sunday morning.

Louisville Metro Police Department said its officers responded to a shooting call outside the Southern Restaurant & Lounge in the city around 3 a.m.

The first victim, an adult man, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to LMPD deputy chief Steve Healey, reported CNN.

The other person died in the hospital.

The injured people were rushed to hospital for treatment.

Four appear to have non-life-threatening injuries and one other victim’s condition is unknown, Healey said.

"We were told the business was sold, effective September 1, and would not reopen. Obviously, last night they opened,"LMPD Lt. Col. Ryan Bates said as quoted by CNN. 

Louisville Mayor has said the lease of the restaurant will be terminated as of August 31. 

Police informed abour 200 to 300 people were present at the site where the shooting took place.
