Five people were killed and at least eight others were injured after a gunman opened fire at an Old National Bank branch in downtown Louisville on Monday.
Interim Louisville Metro Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said the shooter was also killed at the scene. Police have yet not confirmed a motive, but authorities from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms conducted a raid on a Taylor Avenue home Monday afternoon in connection with the investigation.
Here’s what we know about the five people killed in the shooting:
Deana Eckert had been in banking in Kentucky for 31 years. She was an executive administrative officer at Old National Bank and had been employed with the bank since October 2016, according to her LinkedIn profile.
The Louisville Metro Police Department confirmed her death on Monday night.
In 2019, Eckert won Old National’s ONe Vision Annual Award, nominated by colleagues as someone who exceeded expectations and exemplified the bank’s values.
She was “known for always going the extra mile,” bank chairman and CEO James Ryan said during a presentation to the board. “She serves selfless labor time to ensure the success of our branch, and she mentors different associates.”
Thomas Elliott was a senior vice president of commercial real estate at Old National Bank.
