Five people have died and at least six others have been wounded, including at least one police officer, in a shooting outside the Old National Bank in Louisville, Kentucky.

Metro police have 'neutralized' the gunman at the bank, in the area of the 300 block of East Main Street in the downtown area of the city — located just hours from Nashville, where a gunman recently opened fire at a Christian school and killed six people.

Dispatchers heard on the police scanners have indicated that the shooting occurred on the first floor of the building, which is in front of Louisville Slugger Stadium.

Sources say cops had to force their way into the building, where they confronted the gunman in an apparently bloody battle.

At least a dozen police cars and three ambulances have responded to the area according to witnesses on social media, and stretchers were seen being rolled onto some ambulances as blood and glass were seen scattered around the ground.

The FBI and Gov. Andy Beshear are now said to be arriving at the scene.

In a statement, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear confirmed he is heading to the scene of the shooting.

'Please pray for all of the families impacted, and for the city of Louisville,' he tweeted.

Old National Bank is an American regional bank with nearly 200 retail branches operated by Old National Bancorp and based in Chicago, Illinois and Evansville, Indiana.

Anyone with information is asked to call 574 - LMPD.

Clearly common sense gun control is going to solve these mass shootings we've been having lately.
 
I was wondering why this dropped off the front page so quick, turns out he was a lefty BLM supporter.

Haven’t kept up on this, but heard that he was a leftist, and his goal was to push gun control (ban).

In the words of the left, this was stochastic terrorism, inspired by leftist protests in KY.
 
You know.....this "He/she send his/her friend a message about wanting to commit mass murder/suicide" prior to the incident thing seems to be a trend.

Despite live streaming his terrorist attack, sending messages and voicemails, and having an extensive social media presence, it appears that it has almost been completely scrubbed.

Did he send a message to a friend? Look in the memory hole...
 
Banks are people, too. Interesting that this occurs right before the "banking sector" caused a "mild recession". Events like these should be remembered when people express their anger at banks.
 
Well....he certainly highlighted the mental health crisis. Comments from [MENTION=58229]TheCount[/MENTION]? Sounds like some de-escalation prior to the incident needed to happen.

I generally think that people who write elaborate manifestos before shooting up their school or work are trying to invent a noble cause for their actions rather than reflecting the actual reason that they did it.
 
Pretty much the only update to come from this case:

Louisville bank shooter’s parents demand gun reform in first TV interview: ‘This didn’t have to happen’
Todd and Lisa Sturgeon spoke to NBC’s Today Show on Thursday morning, in what marks their first TV interview since their son killed five colleagues in a horror rampage at Old National Bank

The parents of Louisville bank shooter Connor Sturgeon are calling for tighter gun control in America to stop other people in the midst of mental health struggles from getting their hands on deadly weapons.
