A rookie police officer who was shot in the head while responding to the mass shooting at a Louisville bank remained in critical but stable condition Tuesday morning, the police chief said.
«It’s looking hopeful,» Louisville Metro Police Department Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel told WDRB-TV about Officer Nickolas Wilt, who had graduated from training just 10 days earlier.
She said Wilt and other officers “unflinchingly” engaged the shooter at Old National Bank and stopped him from killing more people.
Authorities said Tuesday that the investigation into the shooting was continuing and body camera video will be released later.
Connor Sturgeon, 25, an employee of the bank, opened fire with a rifle at his workplace Monday morning, killing five people — including a close friend of Kentucky’s governor — while livestreaming the attack on Instagram, authorities said. Another eight people were wounded.
