Connor Sturgeon, 25, opened fire at Old National Bank where he worked, said interim Louisville Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel. Responding officers were immediately met by gunfire, returned fire and killed him, police said.

The gunman used a rifle in the shooting, which left three people in critical condition, the chief said. One of those was a Louisville officer who had just graduated from the police academy, Gwinn-Villaroel said.

The chief confirmed said Monday afternoon that the shooter livestreamed the attack but didn't provide any additional details.

"The suspect was livestreaming, and, unfortunately, that's tragic to know that incident was out there and captured. We're hopeful that we can have that footage removed," Gwinn-Villaroel said.

Meta, the company that owns Facebook and Instagram, said in a statement that it had “quickly removed the livestream of this tragic incident this morning.”
