Football concussions have now been fingered as a possible cause for the shooter suspected of killing four and injuring nine at Old National Bank in downtown Louisville, Kentucky.
As Awr Hawkins of Breitbart News reported on Monday, the suspect was identified as Old National Bank employee Connor Sturgeon, “a 23-year-old portfolio banker who listed his pronouns on LinkedIn as ‘he/him.’”
“Four innocents were killed in the attack and another eight individuals were wounded. Two police officers were among the wounded,” Hawkins reported. “The attacker was deceased after police engaged him. As of late Monday morning, the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department (LMPD) did not know whether Sturgeon died via a self-inflicted wound or by being shot by police.”
After several outlets began digging into Sturgeon’s past, media figures and outlets instantly seized upon the fact he had endured multiple concussions while playing football to the point he needed to wear a helmet playing other sports like basketball.
“We played football together in eighth grade. He was out most of the year because he had multiple concussions,” one classmate told The Daily Beast. “Then he had a couple more in high school.”
