FOG BLOG U.S. LOG: KENTUCKY BANK SHOOTING, 4 KILLED!

At least 4 killed in bank shooting in Louisville, Kentucky The Louisville Police Department did not have "any prior engagement" with the man who is accused of killing at least four people at a bank Monday morning.

Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel, the interim chief of the department, said they are still working to learn more about the gunman.

The shooter was killed by police shortly after he opened fire, police said. The gunman was shot and killed by police officers who were responding to the scene, according to Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel, the interim chief of the Louisville Metro Police Department. She said police got a call that there was a shooting at 8:35 a.m. ET and arrived at the bank three minutes later. Gwinn-Villaroel said officers "responded in a timely, quick fashion, and we stopped the threat so that no additional loss of life could be taken." Police previously said the gunman was dead, but did not confirm if he was shot by police or a self-inflicted gunshot wound.


The shooter was live streaming the attack on a Kentucky bank Monday morning, the interim chief of the Louisville police department said during a press conference. Gwinn-Villaroel said that police are "hopeful" that they can get the footage taken offline.

She didn't specify on what platform the suspect was live-streaming the shooting. Police released the names Monday of the four people who died following a mass shooting at a Louisville, Kentucky, bank.

Here are the victims: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said that one of those killed in the mass shooting Monday morning in Louisville was "one of my closest friends."

Beshear said that Tommy Elliott, "helped me build my law career. Help me become governor. Gave me advice on being a good dad."

  • Jim Tutt, 64

  • Josh Barrick, 40

  • Juliana Farmer, 57 The governor also called the other deceased victims of the shooting "amazing people" whose communities will "mourn" and "miss them." A Louisville Metro Police Department officer was shot in the head during a confrontation with the gunman Monday morning, said Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel, the interim chief of the police department.

Nickolas Wilt, the 26-year-old officer, was taken to the hospital and had brain surgery, she said during a news conference following the mass shooting that left four people dead. "He is in critical but stable condition," she said.

Wilt was new to the department, having graduated from the police academy at the end of March, she said.
