The man who carried out a mass shooting at a bank in Louisville, identified by law enforcement officials as Connor Sturgeon, obtained the weapon he used legally.
The rifle Sturgeon used when he opened fire on April 10 at Old National Bank was purchased at a local gun store on April 4, Louisville Metro Interim Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel told reporters on Tuesday.
