UPDATED. Police say they responded within minutes to reports of an attacker at about 8:30 am at the bank office near Slugger Field baseball stadium.
A 23-year-old bank employee armed with a rifle shot dead five colleagues and wounded nine other people at his workplace in Louisville on Monday, April 10, while livestreaming the attack on social media, police said.
Officers fired at the gunman, who was armed with a rifle, police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel told reporters. The attacker broadcast live video of his attack over the internet, she said. “He taught me how to help build my law career, he helped me become governor, he gave me advice on being a good dad,” Beshear said. “One of the people I talked to most in the world.”Two police officers were among the nine people wounded, including a 26-year-old recent police academy graduate who was struck in the head and remained in critical condition after brain surgery on Monday, police said. The nine were all treated at the University of Louisville hospital, a hospital spokesperson said.
Sturgeon worked at the bank as an intern for three summers from 2018 to 2020 before becoming a full-time employee in 2022 as a portfolio banker, according to a LinkedIn profile page. He had no prior contact with Louisville police, the police chief said. Mass shootings have become commonplace in the United States. So far in 2023, the nation has experienced 146 mass shootings, the most at this point in the year since 2016 – using the definition of four or more shot or killed, not including the shooter – according to the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive.
