The men did not exchange words "at any point in time" before the shooting, according to Bishop.
"Social media is full of people saying this happened and that happened and wanted to get political with it; there was nothing political about what happened," he added.
Louisville Metro Police officers responded to the bar, located on Beulah Church Road, around 11:30 p.m. Two of the men who were shot, Toreon Jermaine Hudson, 26, and William Scott Smallwood, 48, were pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Jefferson County Coroner's Office. The other victim, Steven Matthew Head, 24, died from his injuries at University Hospital.
Michael E. Rhynes Jr., 33, was arrested just after midnight Saturday after police found him crawling in brush near the restaurant, according to Rhynes' arrest report. Police said Rhynes' clothing matched the clothing of the suspect caught on video and that he had a handgun loaded with several rounds that were manufactured by the same company that made the shell casings found at the scene.

Rhynes faces three counts of murder and is scheduled to be arraigned in court on Monday. His bond was set at $2 million, according to the Louisville Metro Corrections online booking log.
"Why? Why?" Bishop asked. "I mean, I could understand if there was an altercation, but why?
As far as i can tell, this wasn't a racially motivated attack. Details are scant at the moment though. They're blowing up this issue over the shirt.
