Louisville police have released dramatic body camera footage from Monday's bank shooting, showing officers arriving, being ambushed and then shooting dead the 25-year-old disgruntled employee who murdered five colleagues.
Connor Sturgeon, 25, was seen entering the Old National Bank on East Main Street in Louisville at 8.33am with his legally-purchased AR-15 in hand.
Over the course of six minutes, police are then seen driving up to Old National Bank as gunshots are echoing through the building, and then charging at the doors. One officer is shot in the head in an ambush: Sturgeon was then killed.
The footage was released at a news conference on Tuesday, detailing the Louisville Metro Police Department's quick response to the massacre.
Officials arrived at the scene within just three minutes of receiving a call about an active shooter at the bank, and just three minutes after that, Sturgeon was pronounced dead.
The footage begins at 8:40am, with Officer Nickolas Wilt, 26, driving to the scene in his 10th day on the job.
In the passenger seat is his training officer, Officer Cory 'CJ' Galloway.

For years I have been surprised that incidents like these don’t happen more often.

At least the writer blamed the killings on the maggot doing the shooting and not the innocent gun dragged to the crime scene by the evil perp.
“Style”
I’m desensitized with the sudden ramp up of shootings with the current calls for gun bans. Was it an AR or are they willy nilly labeling things these days? Mis-labeling is wrong from what I’ve gathered...
The cops need ballistic shields in every car.
Exchanging fire - hand gun versus AR-15 - is not a plan.
Rush the shooter with ballistic shields.
In close combat, the AR-15 actually becomes a liability against fists and handguns.
Watching the cops walk directly in front of those windows before they were shot is crazy. And this was an “Active shooter” call...Brutal..
That was some bodycam footage. Got my heart racing.
He was a radical lefty. I’m guessing that his suicide mission was for gun control. Some spoiled rotten punks only want to bother other people. And the more they bother them, the more thrill they get out of it.

Remember the New Zealand shooter?
He was TOLD he was going to be fired——
YOU NEVER give advance warning of firing these days-—
YOU FIRE & GIVE 2 WEEKS PAY,
STYLE?
I just see stairs and some guys walking with guns drawn in front of the camera.
Every shooting will be tagged with an AR weapon.
A .22 pistol will be an AR. It is about attacking the most popular weapon in the country.
I just fire on Friday and present final paycheck.
Gives them the weekend to cool off so hopefully they don’t shoot up the place on Monday.
Good advice to all employers.

Amish?
At least the writer blamed the killings on the maggot doing the shooting
because he was a white male
