The sole gunman in the mass shooting at a Louisville bank is 25-year-old Connor Sturgeon, an employee at the bank since 2018, according to Fox News.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Sturgeon worked as an intern at Old National Bank from May 2018 to August 2020, joining as a full-time employee in June 2021.
The 23-year-old worked at the bank, Louisville Interim Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said at a 3 p.m. news briefing. He was live-streaming during the attack, she added.

She said the first reports of shots fired came in at 8:38 a.m. Sturgeon shot at responding officers.
“We then returned fire and stopped that threat,” she said. “The suspect is deceased. This is the only time that I will mention the suspect name in this case: Connor Sturgeon, white male, 23 years of age, who was employed at Old National Bank.”
At least one officer was critically injured in the attack Monday, police said, Nickolas Wilt, who was recently sworn in.

“This is awful,” he said. “I have a very close friend that didn’t make it today. And I have another close friend who didn’t either. And one who’s at the hospital that I hope is going to make it through.”
