Police identified the shooter as 25-year-old Connor Sturgeon, who they say live-streamed his killing of four Old National Bank employees: 64-year-old market executive Jim Tutt, 63-year-old senior vice president Tommy Elliott, 57-year-old commercial banking agent Juliana Farmer and 40-year-old senior vice president of commercial real estate Josh Barrick.
Sturgeon used a rifle in the attack and died during a shootout with police shortly after 8:30 a.m., Louisville Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said Monday, injuring three officers—including one who was shot in the head and remained in critical condition as of Monday afternoon.
Sturgeon worked at Old National Bank—a regional bank headquartered in Indiana—but was recently told he was going to be fired, according to CNN, citing a source with knowledge of the investigation.
He left a note before the attack addressed to his parents and a friend telling them he was going to shoot up the bank, CNN reported.
Multiple reports—citing Sturgeon’s now-removed LinkedIn profile—said he graduated from the University of Alabama in 2020 after majoring in finance and economics, and started at Old National Bank as an intern in 2018, where he most recently worked as a syndications associate and portfolio banker.
