"Louisville Mass Shooting: Mental Health Challenges and Legislative Inaction"

The family of Connor Sturgeon, the man who killed five people in a Louisville bank branch, said he struggled with depression but showed no signs of planning or capable of such violence. Sturgeon sent a text message to family members saying "I love you" minutes before he opened fire. He left a note behind and told somebody he was suicidal. Sturgeon used an AR-15 during the shooting, which was called in about 8:38 a.m. He purchased the weapon legally six days earlier at a local gun dealer. Police have not said where exactly Sturgeon bought the weapon.
