A 13-page manifesto written by the Old National Bank shooter in Louisville, described three key points: He wanted to prove how easy it was to buy a gun in Kentucky, he wanted to highlight the mental health crisis, and he wanted to die by suicide.
Connor Sturgeon, 23, was an Old National Bank employee. He brought an AR-15 rifle to the bank, killed five of his colleagues, and wounded several others. He was killed after engaging in gunfire with two responding officers, one of whom was shot in the head by Sturgeon.A 13-page manifesto written by Sturgeon described three key points: He wanted to prove how easy it was to buy a gun in Kentucky, he wanted to highlight the mental health crisis, and he wanted to die by suicide.
Sturgeon, who was a syndications associate and portfolio banker for Old National Bank, had depression and a history of anxiety and was receiving medication and professional care. He joined the bank in 2021 and was not in danger of losing his job, despite executives losing confidence in him, Peter Palmer, attorney for the Sturgeon family, said.
"The family, in conjunction with the Louisville Metro Police Department and the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms , is working vigorously to ensure the assault rifle is legally destroyed and the first step in this process occurred Monday, when ATF took possession of the assault rifle," the family said in a statement to the Daily Mail on Thursday."We genuinely appreciate the assistance of both LMPD and ATF in this regard.
