LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A frantic call from a woman who said she saw the shooting on a video call was the first indication Louisville police received of the carnage that was developing in a gunman’s attack at Old National Bank, according to audio of 911 calls released Wednesday.
“Oh my God, there’s an active shooter there,” the woman says as the responder tries to calm her down and gather information about the location and how she learned of the rampage.
“I just watched it on a Teams meeting,” she says, adding, “We were having a board meeting with our commercial team.”
An initial picture of the harrowing Monday morning scene develops as the operator calmly asks the woman for the bank’s address, where specifically the shooting was taking place and what the assailant looked like and wore.
“White man, dark hair. He had khakis on, maybe, he had a rifle, gun,’’ she tells him. “We heard multiple shots and everybody started saying, ‘Oh, my God, that man, he came into the board room.’’’
As more calls start to come in, he excuses himself and tells her, “We have them going that way. … We do have everybody responding. We’re getting them out there.’’
Five people were killed and eight injured by a 25-year-old bank employee identified as Connor Sturgeon, who police said was armed with an AR-15 rifle. Authorities said officers arrived at the scene three minutes after being dispatched, likely saving lives.
In another 911 call, a woman says her son may be heading toward the bank with a gun and wanted to alert police but lacked details, saying she had heard from her son’s roommate expressing concern.
“He apparently left a note,’’ she says. “I don't know what to do, I need your help. He's never hurt anyone. He's a really good kid. Please don’t punish him.’’
The woman says her son is an employee at the bank, is not violent and has never owned a gun. She asks if she should go to the bank and the responder advises her against it, saying officers were already at the scene and it was not a safe location.
