Frantic calls from witnesses reporting a mass shooting at a Louisville bank were released Wednesday by police, including from a woman who was on a virtual meeting and saw the shooter, as well as one from the man's mother, who told a 911 operator that her son 'currently has a gun and is heading toward' the bank.
Frantic calls from witnesses reporting a mass shooting at a Louisville bank were released Wednesday by police -- including from a woman who was on a virtual meeting and saw the shooter, as well as one from the man's mother, who told a 911 operator that her son "currently has a gun and is heading toward" the bank.
"We heard multiple shots and everybody started saying, 'Oh my God and then he came into the board room." "How long will it be before they get here?" she whispers and the dispatcher tells her that authorities are on the way and advises her to keep quiet. The dispatcher then describes what others reported the suspect was wearing and the caller confirms it.
That same night, a moment of silence preceded a college baseball game between Louisville and neighbouring Bellarmine University at Jim Patterson Stadium. Players from both schools stood in alternating patterns along the first- and third-base lines as the names and pictures of the victims were displayed on an outfield video screen.
