The suspect in the mass shooting at a bank in Louisville has been identified as Connor Sturgeon.
Sturgeon, 23, used a rifle to kill four people and injure others at Old National Bank before he died, Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel told reporters during a briefing.
Sturgeon, a white male, was employed at the bank.
A LinkedIn profile said he was a syndications associate and portfolio banker who started in April 2022.
“Handled multiple roles at once, including managing a business banking portfolio, building digital infrastructure for new syndications team, and meeting with prospective and existing clients of all sizes,” it stated.
The profile also listed Sturgeon as receiving a Bachelor’s in finance and economics and a master of science from the University of Alabama, with Sturgeon attending through 2020. The school did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Authorities had previously said they believed the shooter had a connection to the bank.
The wounded include two officers. One, Nicholas Wilt, was struck in the head and was in stable but critical condition. Wilt, 26, just graduated from the police academy, officials said.
Another officer suffered minor injuries.
Gwinn-Villaroel said that the responding officers “took it upon themselves to not wait to assess everything but just went in to make sure that more lives would not be lost.”
The four other people who were killed in the shooting were identified as Joshua Barrick, 40; Thomas Elliot, 63; Juliana Farmer, 45; and James Tutt, 64.
This is a developing story that will be updated.
