Lisa's panicked 911 call
In the frantic 911 call, Lisa who sounded shaken told the operator that her "son might be [redacted] because he has a gun and he’s heading to the Old National [Bank]," and revealed, "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," according to Daily Mail.
'He doesn’t even own a gun, I don’t know where he got a gun'
In response to Lisa's tense call, the operator asked her if she knew what her son was doing. "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," she said.
Lisa then confirmed that her son was heading to the Old National Bank where he was an employee. "I don’t want you to go to the location, OK. I don’t want you to go to the location ma’am," the dispatcher responded. "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," said the officer.
An investigation into the gunman's motive behind the massacre is underway. Before the bank was opened to the public on Monday, Sturgeon entered the bank at 8.30 am and opened fire, according to Louisville Metro Police Department.
