   Louisville authorities have released 911 calls and radio traffic illustrating the panic Monday as police raced to stop an active shooter at an Old National Bank location downtown in the Kentucky city.

The gunman, 25-year-old bank employee Connor Sturgeon, killed 4 and wounded nine before police shot him dead. One of the wounded victims succumbed to her injuries later.

One of the calls came from the gunman's mother, Lisa Sturgeon.

"He has a gun and he's heading toward the Old National…on Main Street here in Louisville," she told police in frantic words. "This is his mother, I'm so sorry, I'm getting details secondhand."


Sturgeon's mother told the dispatcher that her son's roommate had called her to raise concerns. She said she did not know her son owned a gun.

"He's not violent," she says. "He's never done anything."

However, she concedes that his girlfriend may own guns.
