Old National Bank Shooting

Flashing a thumbs-up to his well-wishers, a police officer who was critically wounded while responding to a mass shooting at a Louisville bank in April was discharged from the hospital on Friday after enduring multiple surgeries and intensive therapy. Louisville Metro Police Officer Nickolas Wilt still has a “long road” ahead in his recovery, but now he gets to sleep in his own bed and enjoy the steak dinner he requested, said his brother, Zack Wilt.

The mother of a man who shot and killed five coworkers at a Louisville bank says her son's struggle with mental health problems began a year earlier. He had panic attacks, anxiety and a suicide attempt. But the situation appeared to be managed. In an interview with NBC’s “Today” show, Lisa Sturgeon said her son Connor had a panic attack six days before the shooting and thought he should take time off. Lisa Sturgeon says he was seeing a psychiatrist and taking medication. The parents say he shouldn’t have been able to buy the rifle because of his mental state. More from WUKY's Karyn Czar.

The family of a man who opened fire at a Louisville bank is working to destroy the AR-15 rifle he used to kill five of his co-workers.

Police body camera video released Tuesday showed the chaotic moments when police arrived at the scene of a mass shooting at a bank in downtown Louisville, as the shooter they couldn't see from the street rained bullets down on them.

Police say the shooter who killed five people at a Louisville bank legally bought the weapon he used a week ago. Louisville Metro Police Department Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said at a Tuesday news conference that Connor Sturgeon bought the gun from a local dealership on April 4. Gwinn-Villaroel also said that officers’ body camera video from shooting will be released Tuesday afternoon. Sturgeon opened fire at a downtown bank Monday and was killed by police. The shooting comes just two weeks after a former student killed three children and three adults at a Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee.

Tributes are growing for the five people slain in a shooting at a Louisville bank. Friends shared details of their lives and mourners gathered at vigils Monday.
