The parents of the Louisville bank shooter who gunned down five coworkers Monday morning broke their silence – saying in a statement that their son had been struggling with mental health issues, but never fathomed he could do something so evil.
“While Connor, like many of his contemporaries, had mental health challenges which we, as a family, were actively addressing, there were never any warning signs or indications he was capable of this shocking act,” the family of 25-year-old gunman Connor Sturgeon said in a statement to WDRB News.
“While we have many unanswered questions, we will continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement officials and do all we can to aid everyone in understanding why and how this happened.”
Sturgeon was killed by police gunfire after he stormed into the Old National Bank in downtown Louisville with an assault rifle and carried out the massacre.
Before shooting up his place of employment, Sturgeon reportedly left a voicemail for a friend saying he felt “suicidal” and planned to “kill everyone at the bank.” He also left letters to his roommate and parents revealing his deadly plan, though it’s unclear when the notes were discovered.
