FLORENCE, Ky. (WXIX) - The four people and the suspect in the deadly early Saturday mass shooting have been identified.

An emotional Florence Police Chief Jeff Mallery released their names during a 1 p.m. press conference. He said the department had never dealt with anything of this magnitude and that they were still trying to process what happened overnight on Ridgecrest Drive.

The victims:

Delaney Eary, 19 years old
Hayden Rybicki, 20 years old
Melissa Parrett, 44 years old
Shane Miller, 20 years old
The suspect, who later died at St. Elizabeth from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, is 21-year-old Chase Garvey, Chief Mallery announced.

The shooting happened during a birthday for Parrett’s 21-year-old child at her home on Ridgecrest Drive in Florence, according to the chief.

Garvey was not invited to the party, but did know those celebrating, Chief Mallery explained.

The 21-year-old shot seven people, four of whom died at the scene. The three surviving victims are expected to be okay.

Shortly before 3 a.m., officers arrived at the home after receiving multiple calls about an “active shooter,” the chief said Saturday.

“When officers arrived, they could still hear gunshots,” Chief Mallory said. “They approached the residence and saw multiple victims. Partygoers told the police that the suspect had fled.”

Police say Garvey fled the scene, leading officers on a chase. Because Garvey was known to those at the birthday party, the chief said officers were given a description of his vehicle.

Those officers saw multiple victims, including two in the front yard, he said.

”We train on this, hoping it would never happen, but unfortunately, we’ve been touched like so many departments and cities,” Chief Mallery said of the officers who went to the Ridgecrest Drive home.

By that point, Garvey had left the mass shooting scene, according to the police chief.

Officers “quickly” found his vehicle near Farmview Drive and US-42, according to an earlier press release from police.

Garvey did not stop, prompting a Florence officer and Boone County Sheriff’s Office deputy to pursue.

“A Boone County deputy attempted to stop the vehicle,” Chief Mallory continued. “A pursuit ensued, traveling south on I-42 into Union, the suspect shot himself and crashed his vehicle.”

His car crashed into a ditch on Dale Heimbrock Way near Hicks Pike, police explained.

Garvey was taken to St. Elizabeth Hospital, where he died, according to police.

In the press conference Saturday, Chief Mallery stated that Garvey was a convicted felon with a history of sex crimes.

“This is the first mass shooting in Florence, so it’s understandably emotional for everyone involved,” Mallery said.

His motive remains unknown as police continue their murder investigation.

Call Florence police at 859-371-1234 if you have any information.

Kentucky District Judge Kevin Mullins was shot and killed on Thursday afternoon while in his chambers at the Letcher County Courthouse.

In a post on the Mountain Eagle's Facebook page, the newspaper said that officials arrested Sheriff Mickey Stines after he surrendered himself to police in connection to the shooting.

Gov. Andy Beshear confirmed Mullins' death on Twitter, writing, "Sadly, I have been informed that a district judge in Letcher County was shot and killed in his chambers this afternoon. There is far too much violence in this world, and I pray there is a path to a better tomorrow."

Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman said on social media following the shooting that the Office of the Attorney General will "collaborate" with the 27th Judicial Circuit Jackie Steele.

"We will fully investigate and pursue justice," Coleman said.

Kentucky Auditor Allison Ball released a statement on social media saying that she was "praying for Letcher County" and Judge Mullins.

"May God protect this community and all those involved in the shooting," Ball said.

A press release from the Kentucky Court of Justice said that the office was aware of the "tragic incident" that took place in Letcher County. The statement said the branch was in contact with law enforcement agencies and offering "full support."

Police responded to the Letcher County Courthouse after reports of deadly shooting on Thursday.

Schools in the area were placed on lockdown, and Letcher County Central High School reported students were released citing Kentucky State Police guidance.

The state's judicial branch issued a statement writing, "The Kentucky Court of Justice is aware of a tragic incident that occurred today in Letcher County. We are currently in contact with law enforcement agencies, including Kentucky State Police, and are offering our full support during this difficult time. While the investigation is ongoing, we are committed to providing assistance in any way we can."

Two employees have died following an explosion at a Louisville, Kentucky, factory that also blew out windows in nearby homes and businesses, the company said Wednesday.

The explosion occurred Tuesday afternoon at Givaudan Sense Colour, which produces colorings for food and drinks. Firefighters rescued and evacuated many people from the building, including some with life-threatening injuries, Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said in a statement Tuesday night.

Sister station WLKY reported that part of the building collapsed.

Sources initially told WLKY that people were "missing and trapped inside," but the mayor said around 4:30 p.m. that everyone was accounted for.

They did say one person who was trapped was rescued.

University of Louisville Hospital said they had seven of 12 patients who were taken to hospitals. Two of them were listed as being in critical condition and five were listed as stable. Givaudan did not specify if the two critical patients at UofL Hospital were the ones who died.

UofL Hospital said they have seven of those patients. Two of them are in critical condition and five are stable. Dr. Jason Smith said they received burn, blast, blunt force and crush injuries.

It's unclear where the other patients are.

Greenberg said they still don't know what caused the explosion. They expect that to be under investigation for "some time."
