A gunman killed four people and injured nine others using a AR-15-style rifle at a bank in Louisville, Kentucky, on Monday morning.
Connor Sturgeon, the perpetrator, was a bank employee at Old National Bank. The 23-year-old was an alumni from University of Alabama, according to his LinkedIn.
The Louisville Metro Police received calls around 8:30 a.m. and arrived within three minutes. They exchanged gunfire with Sturgeon, who died at the scene, according to The New York Times. Three police officers ended up injured, with one in critical condition.
“It is clear from the officers response that they absolutely saved people lives. This is a tragic event, but it was the heroic response of officers that made sure nobody was more severely injured than what happened,” said Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey.
President Joe Biden tweeted about the mass shooting and questioned Republicans in Congress for not taking action on gun violence. Additionally, the CEO of Old National Bank gave a press release on supporting the staff, victims and family.
