LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY: In a mass shooting incident, a gunman shot and killed five bank employees, while injuring nine others on Monday, April 10, according to Louisville police. Connor Sturgeon who was an ex-employee at Old National Bank, stormed in at 8:30 am, half an hour before the branch opened to the public, and shot dead five of his former colleagues. The encounter was apparently being live-streamed on social media by the 23-year-old.

Sturgeon was also killed at the scene, although it is unclear whether he was shot by police or took his own life. This tragic incident is the latest in a series of mass shootings that have occurred in the United States.
