The Louisville bank shooter’s mother was informed of the unfolding situation as she made a tense 911 call saying she’d heard her son was heading to the bank with a gun.
Gunman Connor Sturgeon’s mother Lisa sounded shaken as she tried to warn police after hearing about his plans from his roommate, in the newly released emergency call.
“My son might be [redacted], because he has a gun and he’s heading to the Old National [Bank],” she said. “This is his mother, I’m sorry I’m getting details second hand. Oh my lord.
“I don’t know what to do. I need your help. He’s never hurt anyone. He’s a really good kid,” she added.
The dispatcher then asks her if she knows what he’s doing, but the frantic mother says she has no idea.
“I don’t know, I don’t know anything. He doesn’t even own a gun, I don’t know where he got a gun. His roommate called me, he was concerned. I don’t know what I’m doing.”
The mother confirmed that Sturgeon was an employee at the bank, and told the dispatcher she was planning to head down to the bank.
“I don’t want you to go to the location, OK,” the officer instructed. “I don’t want you to go to the location ma’am.
“We have a situation that is going on down there right now, we’ve already had calls from other people and I do not need you to go to the location at this time OK, it’s dangerous there.”
The call came at 8:41 a.m., the very moment police arrived at the scene and confronted Sturgeon, who was waiting for them armed with his recently purchased AR-15 rifle.
He had shot five and injured nine people before being shot and killed by police a few minutes later. Sturgeon was a former employee of the bank but his motive for the killings remains unknown.
