Breaking News: Louisville Bank Shooting Leaves 4 Dead, 8 Injured

Four people have lost their lives due to a murderous assault by a deranged killer, who opened fire in a bank downtown Louisville, where the killer reportedly was employed.

Independent: Police became aware of the mass shooting just before 9am local time on Monday. By 10:30am they announced the shooter was dead, along with four other victims. Eight others — including, reportedly at least one police officer — were injured and required medical attention.

The Shooting
Police believe the shooting began around 8:30am EST at the Old National Bank in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. Police received word of the shooting sometime between then and 8:53am, at which time the department tweeted that it was “aware of the reported incident” downtown and advised the public to avoid the area.

Just before 9:30am, police confirmed that there were “multiple casualties” resulting from the shooting.

The shooting ended sometime between 9am and 10:16am, at which time police tweeted that “there is no longer an active aggressor threat. The suspected shooter has been neutralized.”

It is unclear how the shooter died, though officers confirmed that they traded shots with the suspect.

Police later said that the shooter had some connection to the bank, though the exact nature of that relationship was not made clear.

“I don’t know if he was an active employee or former employee but the shooter did have a connection to the building,” said Louisville Metro Police Chief Paul Humphrey.

Two unnamed officials also told NBC News that the shooting is being investigated as a workplace violence situation by an employee who suffered from mental health issues.

The Victims
Little is known about the victims at this time.
What we do know is that four people are confirmed dead, in addition to the shooter. Eight have been injured and require medical attention.

One of those eight is reportedly a police officer, according to Louisville Metro Police Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey.

Two of the victims were friends with Governor Andy Beshear, who spoke at an 11am press conference. During an emotional address at nearby Slugger Field, he confirmed that one of his friends was killed, and another was in surgery.

“This is awful,” he said. “I have a very close friend who didn’t make it today.”

He revealed that he banked with Old National Bank and formerly had an office in the building during his campaign for the attorney general’s office.
