A 23-year-old bank employee armed with a rifle opened fire at his workplace Monday morning, killing four people — including a close friend of the governor — while livestreaming the attack, authorities said.
"Let’s be clear about what this was," Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said. "This was an evil act of targeted violence."
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, about 160 mile (260 kilometers) to the south. That state's governor and his wife also had friends killed in that shooting.
Police arrived as shots were still being fired inside Old National Bank and killed the shooter in an exchange of gunfire, Louisville Metro Police Department Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said at a news conference.
"The suspect shot at officers," the police chief said. "We then returned fire and stopped that threat."
The chief identified the shooter as Connor Sturgeon.
"That’s tragic to know that that incident was out there and captured," she said. "We're hopeful that we can have that incident removed, that footage removed."
