Louisville shooting suspect Connor Sturgeon was allegedly struggling at work

Authorities revealed that the suspect’s social media account indicated that he was struggling at work and was on the brink of being fired. However, Rebecca Buchheit-Sims, a manager at the bank who virtually attended the Monday morning meeting in the conference room, described the suspect as an extremely intelligent individual.

Buchheit-Sims told CNN that she was shocked to see the violence stemming from her co-worker, who had an even temperament and never had an angry outburst in public.

Following the death of multiple employees, Old National Bank CEO Jim Ryan released a statement, saying:

“There are no words to adequately describe the sadness and devastation that our Old National family is experiencing as we grieve the tragic loss of our team members and pray for the recovery of all those who were injured.”

He added:

"On behalf of everyone at Old National, I also want to acknowledge and thank Louisville law enforcement, the medical community and state and local officials for their incredible response to this tragedy. And finally, we ask you to please continue to pray for all those affected.”

As per CNN, three people were hospitalized in critical condition, including Nickolas Wilt, a 26-year-old police officer who is undergoing brain surgery after sustaining a gunshot to the head. The remaining five people who were injured reportedly sustained minor injuries.
