When they arrived, they encountered an active shooter inside with a rifle. He has been identified as Connor Sturgeon, 25, an employee of the bank.
LMPD said Sturgeon fired at police, they fired back, and they then "stopped that threat."
The four people who died were all employees of the bank.
Nine people were hospitalized in all, including at least three police officers. One LMPD officer, Nickolas Wilt, 26, was shot in the head and is receiving brain surgery at UofL Hospital. He's in critical condition.
Police aren't sure yet on a motive, or how the shooter got the rifle. They did say he livestreamed the shooting somewhere on social media.
