Police Bodycam Footage of Louisville Bank Shooting

Louisville, Kentucky — On Monday 10, 2023, the Louisville Metro Police officers were dispatched at a bank in Kentucky's largest city at 8:38 a.m., and arrived within three minutes. Immediately upon their arrival, shots were fired at them from the lobby area of the bank, before they had even exited their vehicles. By the time the officers arrived at the scene, the shooter had already killed victims inside the bank, but had returned to the lobby to wait in "ambush," which is when he opened fire on the officers.

The shooter, identified as 25-year-old Connor Sturgeon, was a bank employee. Video released by police shows Officer Nickolas Wilt and Officer Cory Galloway, arriving on scene. As Wilt and Officer Galloway, his training officer, make their way up the stairs toward the gunfire, Wilt is struck by gunfire from the shooter. Galloway drops and rolls back down the stairs. He hides behind a wall of concrete trying to find a vantage point to neutralize the shooter. While officers attempted to retrieve Wilt to render medical aid, the shooter continued to fire upon the police. While shooting at officers, the suspect broke out a glass window.

It was that action that allowed Galloway to determine the suspect's location, and he was able to shoot and kill the gunman.Galloway then calls for fellow officers to rescue the wounded Wilt. Sturgeon, bought the AR-15 legally on April 4 in Louisville. Of the eight people injured in Monday's mass shooting, three remain at the University of Louisville Hospital. One of those patients, 26-year-old police officer Nickolas Wilt, shot in the head, is still in critical condition, hospital officials said, and the other two patients are stable and in fair condition. Wilt just graduated from the police academy on March 31.
