Frantic calls from witnesses reporting a mass shooting at a Louisville bank were released Wednesday.
Bank employee Connor Sturgeon, 25, used an AR-15 assault-style rifle in the attack Monday at Old National Bank, where he killed five coworkers while livestreaming before police fatally shot him. Eight others were injured, including a police officer who was shot in the head and remains hospitalized in critical condition.
Asked what kind of injuries there were, the caller replies: “I don’t know. I just saw a lot of blood.” The dispatcher then describes what others reported the suspect was wearing and the caller confirms it..The woman identifying herself as Sturgeon’s mother asks during the call if she can go to the bank but is told by the dispatcher that she should not because “there’s a situation going on down there” and “it’s dangerous.”Article content
On Tuesday, police released body camera video that showed the chaotic moments when officers arrived at the bank as the shooter, whom they couldn’t see, rained bullets down on them. The shooting, the 15th mass killing in the country this year, comes just two weeks after a former student killed three children and three adults at a Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, about 160 miles south of Louisville.
