New details have emerged about the livestream video recorded by a gunman who killed five people at a bank in Louisville, Kentucky, on Monday morning.
Police identified the suspect as 25-year-old Connor Sturgeon, an employee at the Old National Bank, where the massacre unfolded. Louisville Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said the lone shooter was livestreaming throughout the attack, which also left nine people injured.
Meta, the company that owns Facebook and Instagram, confirmed in a statement that it had “quickly removed the livestream of this tragic incident” after it was uploaded. But an unnamed city official provided details of the footage to CNN early Tuesday, saying that the attack at the bank involving an AR-15-style rifle only lasted about a minute.
