Authorities said that Connor Sturgeon used an AR-15 he’d purchased legally on April 4, left a note shortly before the attack, and also told at least one person that he was suicidal and intending on causing harm.
According to the source, the weapon was clearly visible at the beginning of the livestream as the shooter entered the bank. There, he was reportedly greeted by a worker who wished him a good morning. “You need to get out of here,” the gunman reportedly told the woman—before attempting to shoot her in the back.The official said the attempt failed because the weapon was unloaded and its safety was on.
On Tuesday, Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said media reports that Sturgeon had been fired, or was on the verge of being fired, were incorrect. He was still employed by the bank and had access to the building as a result, Greenberg said. Speaking at Tuesday's press conference, an impassioned Rep. Morgan McGarvey called on lawmakers to make it harder for people to purchase guns on a whim, and criticized Republicans who’ve recently focused on “banning books” and “pronouns” instead of the increasingly common mass shootings that have ravaged communities.
