A bank employee armed with a rifle shot at least five people dead and wounded nine others at his workplace on Monday, while livestreaming the attack in downtown Louisville, Ky., officials said.
The attacker was fatally shot at the scene, the Louisville Metro Police Department said, but it was unclear whether from police gunfire or a self-inflicted wound.
The department identified the shooter as Connor Sturgeon, 25, who joined the downtown branch of the Old National Bank as a full-time employee last year.
Police identified the dead as Joshua Barrick, 40; Thomas Elliot, 63; Juliana Farmer, 45; and James Tutt, 64.
The nine people wounded in the attack were treated at the University of Louisville hospital, a hospital spokesperson said, including two police officers. One of the officers, a 26-year-old recent police academy graduate, was struck in the head and remained in critical condition after brain surgery on Monday, police said. Two other victims were also in critical condition.
