What We Know About Louisville Shooter |
Who Was This Blastin' Buddy?
Our man at the center of this mess is Connor Sturgeon, a 25-year-old former employee at the Old National Bank. Apparently, this guy went from high school hotshot athlete to…well, let's just say "unhappy camper" with a grudge and a semi-automatic rifle.
What Went Down?
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.
On a not-so-sunny April morning in 2023, Sturgeon decided his cubicle just wasn't cutting it anymore. He waltzed into the bank, not with donuts and coffee for his colleagues (rude!), but with a whole lot of bullets. Five people, sadly, didn't make it out of that day. Police showed up faster than a free pizza delivery (because, let's face it, who can resist a free pizza?), and there was a bit of a shootout. Spoiler alert: Sturgeon didn't win that one.
So, Why'd He Do It?
That's the million-dollar question, folks. Investigators are still scratching their heads. Some say work woes pushed him over the edge. Maybe that TPS report was just too much to bear. Others point to writings he left behind hinting at mental health struggles. The truth, as always, is probably a murky mix of things.
Here's the kicker: Sturgeon apparently wrote about how worried he was he wouldn't be able to buy a gun because of mental health issues. Then, the plot twist worthy of an M. Night Shyamalan movie – he walks out of a gun store with an assault rifle like it's no big deal! Easy peasy, lemon squeezy, as he might have said (although, probably not).
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.

Bonus Conspiracy Corner (because why not?)
