Sturgeon opened fire near a conference room at Old National Bank at 8.40am, 20 minutes before the business was set to open its doors for the day.

A witness who was inside the building at the time of the shooting told WHAS11 that the suspect was armed with a “long assault rifle” and fired multiple shots inside the bank on the first floor.

“He just started firing,” the startled witness said.

“I didn’t see his face. We were in the conference room. Whoever was next to me got shot, there’s blood on me.”

The shooting left four dead and injured eight others, including two Louisville Metro officers.

Louisville Metro police said Sturgeon was dead once officers gained access to the bank.

“We do not know exactly the circumstances of his death at this time,” Metro Police Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey said.

Chief Humphrey confirmed that responding officers exchanged gunfire with Sturgeon, however, it’s unclear whether he died from a self-inflicting gunshot wound or during the shootout with police.

The eight injured victims were transported to the University of Louisville Hospital.

One officer and another of the wounded were in critical condition.

The Old National Bank is located on the first floor of the multi-purpose building on East Main Street.
