LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Louisville bank employee armed with a rifle opened fire at his workplace Monday morning, killing four people — including a close friend of Kentucky's governor — while livestreaming the attack on Instagram, authorities said.

I'll look for it but I read that he actually worked there for two years after interning a couple of times.

On the preview of his Linked In page (which has since been removed) it says " am a Syndications Associate and Portfolio Banker with Old National Bank in Louisville following completion of the ONB Commercial Banking Development..."

It also says in the Daily Mail article, iirc, that he interned there for 3 summers during college and was hired in July 2022.
 
I always find myself thinking about the shooter's parents in these cases. What it must be like in their home tonight. To have a young adult child who had completed their Master's degree and was working in a full time career-path type job, they must have been quite proud of him.

I can't imagine the utter shock and horror they are facing. While these shootings are on the rise, they are still extremely statistically rare. I don't think any parent would ever begin to think their child is capable of something like this. The only parent of such a case that I can remember ever speaking out after the shooting is Peter Lanza, in this well-written article, so we never really hear about their experiences.
 
I don't have the IG vid (doubt anyone could get their hands on that) but here is the vid that an onlooker captured.

Didn't Louisville police immediately respond to ANOTHER shooting near the Jefferson Community College? So we have two shooter incidents, about a mile from each other, in the same city, but unrelated.

Most shooters are not mentally ill and there's no evidence this shooter was mentally ill, so there being mentally ill people there is irrelevant right now. I am glad that your husband is ok.

I am too. I was in no way implying that the shooter was mentally ill. I have no information either way.
 
Certainly hope that his brain is checked for CTE... he would be young for CTE but it is not out of the question.

I do not understand how a person becomes aware they are going to be terminated before they actually are.. I work in Human Resources in Canada and a termination is akin to a mob hit.. there could be signs but you never really see it coming... when it does come there are often precautions taken just in case things go south.

The guy had a masters in finance... 23... a firing should not set a person off course like this.... unless they were into embezzling money... That can be a career ender...

PICTURED: Ex-banker, 25, who opened fire at Louisville workplace

The gunman who opened fire at a morning conference at the Old National Bank has been identified as Connor Sturgeon, 25, a bank employee.

Good family, and a reputation as a “good kid.”

Apparently he was fired from the bank, ergo the revenge.

As always, when someone who doesn’t seem to have a high-risk background commits this type of mass murder, it’s baffling. But it happens often enough that I never say “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

In my own family we have one relative who is the opposite of the rest of us in every conceivable way.

It’s just so atrocious, though. One would hope that at only 23, he’d be able to move on from getting fired.

Maybe the reason he was fired, if we ever have knowledge of it, will bring some more insight into his character.

Yet according to this article, no one who knew him would’ve expected this of Connor.

A National Merit Scholar. So much promise, and it's all gone.

His family has got to be beyond devastated.

RIP to all the victims.
 
Had this young man (I'm not going to use his name) been an National Merit Scholar in 2015, and he was now 23, he would have been 15 years old, and that's quite unlikely. 17? That makes more sense. I think the guy was indeed 25.

This thread is dedicated to discussion of this specific incident.

Posts about gun control in general are not allowed in this discussion. Stay on the topic in this thread by discussing this case and not all aspects of gun violence in America.

We recently made the decision to break from long established WS tradition of not allowing general discussion of gun control, and have started a thread where members may discuss gun control and gun violence in general, causes, suggestions, solutions, etc:

General Gun Violence/Gun Control

Until the US figures out a way for background checkers to have access to your mental health history, unwell people will continue to buy guns simply by answering 'no' on the mental illness question. But we have strong laws from Congress that keep our health information as secure as possible...

Employees are sometimes placed on behavior correction plans and/or given written warnings that subsequent behaviors could result in termination. We will hopefully learn more about what problems led to his termination & whether he threatened anyone in the workplace at any time.

Discipline or performance plans are typically a long way from termination but perhaps he was on a plan and was failing and made some assumptions. Details to come... There simply has to be quite a bit more to this story..
 
I am astonished to hear that he was "informed that he was to be terminated". Was this really the case? When was he to be terminated? In a high-security environment such as banking, I would think that he would've been informed, promptly escorted out the door by guards, and given 2 weeks' pay--and no chance to empty your desk yourself, if applicable. While I (in the US) haven't worked in banking or finance, I've seen it happen before with my own eyes--usually without actually seeing anything, IYKWIM, and only heard about it at the (next) morning meeting, my group's impromptu powwow, or the water cooler, depending on the workplace.
MOO
 
Regarding his concussions, I hope we learn more about his football playing days, especially in 8th grade. What position(s) did he play? What was his style of play? Was it aggressive, or did he simply absorb a lot of hits passively?

In some industries and/or some employers, being put on a PIP (personal improvement plan) or similar basically means termination is certain. This isn’t the case with all industries/employers; some PIPs are genuinely for improvement. But many PIPs are a legal “CYA” if the employee sues (yes, this is a thing even where employment is at-will). JMO.
