“He has a gun and is headed to the Old National on Main Street here in Louisville,” she said. “This is his mother, I’m so sorry.”
Connor Sturgeon, an employee at the Old National Bank, used an AR-15 he’d bought on April 4 to gun down five colleagues after leaving a note and indicating he was suicidal.
The gunman, who officers couldn’t see behind the bank’s reflective glass, unleashed a barrage of gunfire, leaving one officer in critical condition.
Noting that the Louisville suspect appeared to use an AR-15-style rifle, the mass shooter’s favorite weapon, Ted Williams demanded action amid the “insanity.”
A lone gunman stormed the bank where he worked on Monday morning, killing five people. A former friend said he was “smart” and “popular”—“the last person I’d expect would do this.”
Tammy Madigan, who works in Louisville’s Old Bank Building, said a colleague was arriving for the work day when he saw somebody walk into the building with guns.
The current and former officers are charged with federal civil rights violations.
