Have more to share later on. I want to bring in our senior crime and justice correspondent Shimon Prokupecz shimon, what more are you hearing there . We know that this happened before the bank was open around 8 30, which gives us a little bit of a clue of what may have been going on and who the suspect who is now dead is right. And by all accounts at this point based on what were hearing from witnesses and Law Enforcement, this is quite a chaotic scene. Police officers arriving and then within minutes that they were there they had encountered. According to police. They were fired upon. There were gunshots , and then we have seen indications where glass has been broken at the front. What appears to be the front of this bank has happened. As you said around 8 30 this morning before the bank was open for business. Were hearing from people inside the bank having to hide inside the vault the banks vault to try and protect themselves and police. We believe this point encountered the gunman as to how the gunman died. And ultimately we dont know yet. Were waiting to learn more. From police, but its five dead, six injured, according to police, including a police officer, who was also injured. And so hopefully here in the next few minutes. Were certainly hoping to learn more information. Certainly you can tell early on. When police got there, they went right into action going towards the gunfire. It appears then also searching throughout that area. Theres residential buildings. Theres a parking lot other businesses. Everything was shut down. The most of that area was courting off and shut down. We are going to go straight to the police, who are giving a Press Conference. Louisville metro safe received a report of shots fired and a possible active shooter at 3 33 East Main Street at the Old National Bank. Within three minutes of being dispatched. Officers arrived on scene and encountered the suspect almost immediately still firing gun gunshots. Officers exchanged gunshots with that suspect and ultimately, the suspect did die at the scene. Were trying to confirm if that suspect died of a self inflicted Gunshot Wound or was killed by officers at this time. At least two officers were shot during the exchange of gunfire. One is currently in surgery at university of local hospital. At least four more victims were confirmed to be deceased inside the location, as well as eight that are now currently being treated at the University Hospital to our critical one of those being the officer were currently working to identify all of the victims, work with their families for reunification and provide services to the families and the victims. The investigation i want to reiterate is ongoing. This will be a long scene, it will take pretty much into the night so i still asked that the public avoid the area. I want to reiterate that there is no active threat. We believe this is a lone gunman involved in this that did have a connection to the bank. Were trying to establish what the connection was to the business, but it appears he was a previous employee. Um it is clear. From the officers response that they absolutely saved peoples lives. This is a tragic event. But it was. It was the heroic response of officers that made sure that no more people were more seriously injured than what happened. We will continue to provide updates as soon as possible. We will have another Press Briefing following this at three p. M. Today. I will turn it over to mayor. Craig greenberg at this time. Thank you, deputy Chief Humphrey. First i asked that. Everyone around our city around the country around the world. Pray with us. For those who are currently at ufl hospital. Injured. Fighting for their lives as a result. Of another. Act of gun violence. And i want to thank all of the First Responders, the brave and heroic men and women of l mpd. Who, thanks to their efforts. Quickly responded to the emergency call. And as you just heard from deputy Chief Humphrey without a doubt their actions saved lives. There will be a lot more information we are able to provide as the day goes on. But i want everyone in the city to know that not withstanding tragedies like today. When multiple people are killed by gun violence. Notwithstanding tragedies when individuals are killed by gun violence. Our community will continue to come together. We will find ways to love and support one another and the families and friends who have been directly impacted. By these acts of gun violence, and we will come together as a community. To work to prevent these horrific acts. Of gun violence from continuing here and around the state. I want to thank again. Everyone at el mpd from the local Fire Department from e. M s. From the state agencies and now federal agencies that are also involved. We are a safer community. We are stronger community. Thanks to the work of our Law Enforcement. And again. My prayers go out to the families. Who have lost loved ones today. My prayers go out to the officers who are at the hospital right now. And my thanks for all of them. Through with together. We will get through this together. Finally i want to introduce governor bashir. He was joined us and he was assisting with the efforts, governor. I want to start by thanking the brave heroes in lm p d and our other responding organizations. L npd made it to this scene in a matter of minutes after receiving the call , and there is no doubt in my mind that their. And we have at least one officer in surgery right now, that is there. Because he took those actions to try to protect the people of louisville. I want to thank Louisville Fire louisville, metro e. M s and emergency management, the louisville Sheriffs Office for the immediate response. Theyve now been joined by the fbi, atf. Homeland security. Kentucky state police have requested the Louisville Office of safe and healthy neighborhoods in this response. This is awful. I have a very close friend that didnt make it today. And i have another close friend who didnt either and one whos at the hospital. But i hope is going to make it through. So when we talk about praying, i hope people will for those that we. Are hoping can make it through the surgeries that theyre going through. And then weve got to do what we have done these last three years after everything. Weve got to wrap our arms around these families. And everybody who needs it. Dont be afraid to get some help. Our bodies and our minds are not meant. To go through these types of tragedies. And so i hope that all the brave officers stepped into the line of fire. Theyre worried about one of their fellow officers. Well reach out for help when they need it. I hope everyone of those Bank Employees and folks in that building one that i know well. And my a g campaign was out of that building. Virtually everyone in it. Thats my bank. I hope that they will all reach out. And get the help that they need a lot of people that are hurting today. And if we have a place to focus our energy, i hope it is to surround them with the love. And the compassion. That we have been so good at showing one another. I want people to know that well, today is a horrific act. I do believe that this is a safe community. With officers doing their very best each and every day, and thats what we saw here. Yes, i know that there are steps that the Police Department is taking to do things better after recent report, but we certainly saw i think the very best from them today. And i want to thank them and all our other Law Enforcement officers. Responding and doing their best. Try to save some of my friends and many others. Thank you all. Any questions . The other one that it appears to be, Uh Non Critical Injuries at this time. Im not sure on the status of that yet would be part of investigation. Excuse me. It appears the shooter was. I dont know if theres an active employee or former employee, but the shooter did have a connection to the to the location. No. I dont know that. He asked. Was there any form of security at the bank . We dont know that either. That will be part of the investigation. So one more. We have Resources Available to make sure the rest of the city has kept safe and i do want to reiterate that were managing our resources with the state, local and federal partners to make sure that all services to the city maintained while were maintaining the scene at the same time. So thank you. The next update will be at three oclock. Thank you. Alright. We just received quite a bit of new and additional information. All of it basically heart wrenching. About what . Were hearing here. As the governor put it. This is awful. The governors mean just such a tragic day In Louisville. The governor has a connection himself to people in the bank. At least two people the governor said had died Close Friends of his, but the latest that we learned from this Press Conference, the latest update very importantly. Is that there are four victims who are dead. The gunman is also deceased. Eight people are being treated at the local hospital. Two people in Critical Condition. One of those in Critical Condition is an officer who responded to the scene there. At least two officers shot and one of them is in surgery. As we speak. Let me bring in right now. Go ahead, john. Im sorry piece of information. The officer there just said it does appear that the shooter was a previous employee of the bank. He said that the shooter had a connection to the bank. It seems that appears at previous employee also said that it took the police three minutes to show up when they arrived. The shooter inside, obviously was still firing, still firing and thats what they encountered upon arrival. Joining us right now is cnn senior Law Enforcement analyst former Deputy Director of the fbi andrew mccabe. Cnn National Security analyst juliette kayyem. John miller sticking it was here with us throughout this Press Conference listening to all of this, andy your reaction to what weve just learned the latest update from louisville. Yeah. So obviously a solid Press Conference by the chief. Theyre giving us some really relevant information taking couple questions, but then getting off the stage and letting us no one will be back. Um as far as the incident is concerned, i mean, what weve heard described is you can you can only imagine how youre in violent. The scene was that these Police Police officers showed up on only three minutes from the phone call until they arrive on scene, which is um, you know, really a pretty pretty remarkable Response Time and the and the shots are still being fired. As they arrive. They immediately deploy their own weapons gain entry to the building and one way or another. Weve seen those windows shot out on the front side of the building. Uh engaged with the shooter and then the shooter is killed. Not. Its not clear yet whether he was killed from Police Gunfire or if he took his own life. Obviously well learn more about that as we go forward. Um just, you know , maybe the 15th Mass Shooting in the 1st 10 days of this month. Um what were seeing around the country now or more and more. Fast effective lethal responses by Law Enforcement and yet they are still and always will be behind the first shots. The first acts of violence and potentially the first deaths and thats how you get situations like we have today, and i have to say it is getting harder and harder to find anyone who doesnt have a personal connection. To a shooting like this, including the Kentucky Governor, andy bashir, who said, i have a very close friend who didnt make it today. And then got emotional and appeared to also say another who didnt also and also one who was in surgery right now. Governor bashir his Campaign Office when he ran for a g was in that building, he said. Its his bank that is the bank he uses. So he has a personal connection there. Juliet we did get that bit of information where the shooter appears to have been a previous employee. Yes and relevant. One aspect of this, which is of Course Motive as we were discussing last hour, just historically, as someone who you know, studies these kinds of crisis. You just dont see mass casualty events related to bank robberies, mostly because the motive is to get the money and use it at some stage. And think personnel are trained. Uh and they know that in other words, they will not engage the shooter. They will give the shoot the person money and they want them to go. So this clearly at least from what we knew an hour ago. Look different than than what we what we know about robberies. We now know it is, it is what we would call a traditional Workplace Violence event picking up on what andy said mckay three minutes. Three minutes is really fast. Its excellent, uh, Law EnforcementResponse Time and you dont get better than that. And we have this many dead and probably others who may not make it and so we can look at motive. All the all the time we want, but we do have a very quick probably relatively mostly perfect response. And still we have this many dead. I want to just say two things about the people that you saw recall three people that you saw just because these does matter. Bashir is known as the consoler in chief amongst governors who i work with, because the state has been hit a lot by Natural Disasters and crime and other instances he is he knows what hes doing. And i thought he performed successfully in that regard. The mayor mayor greenberg is trying to bring louisville back to life. And so they want to tell the community that this is a safe community. And then the Police Department is under a new as of last month. Moment of justice review or complaints regarding civil rights violations, so they come to this as well with a little bit of history, which the governor mentioned. Thats the dynamics that you saw today, all of them unified to find out what happened and then to have the larger discussion about why does this keep happening . John miller. Youre sitting through. You were watching this Press Conferences of whats your reaction to kind of the new Additional Details that we heard youve been hearing some more information from your sources as well confirms a lot of what we were building up to before the Press Conference, which is they arrived and were immediately confronted by the shooter shooting. Um they took immediate action to enter had to breach the bank with breaching tools, sledgehammers and so on to get through, um, confronted the shooter. There is the question that deputy chief Paul Humphreys raised. Did they did police shoot him in that confrontation, or did he take his own life . Im still not clear. What we do know is hes a former or current employee of the bank, according to deputy chief humphries, um understand him to be a portfolio , a Syndicate Manager and Portfolio Specialist who started at the bank in 2018, as an intern worked his way up into a significant position and apparently, as juliet said, this is classic Workplace Violence. Um what were told is he was either a former employee or about to become one. It could explain something that weve grappled with in our conversations here this morning, which is if the bank doesnt open till nine. A. M. How did the shooter get in . As a current employee or former employee. He would have been recognized. Somebody may have unlocked the drawer to let him in. So were were seeing a picture that is starting to become a richer picture and a little clearer as to motive, which is going to be personal against the bank or personal against the people inside, and now there are eight people injured. I think we learned there are more people injured, two critical critical, including surgery right now, including one whos still in surgery. Lets listen to a little bit of sound. I think this is a person whose wife if im not mistaken, was inside of the bank at the time. Shes at the bank at this building. Their protocol is to get into the vault. Me and her have had that conversation several times. Ah hit the panic button. Go to the vault. Dont fight. Dont do anything lock yourself up hard and let it go. Get into the vault. They followed protocol clearly, but obviously when somebody has a deadly weapon, you cant run fast enough. Mr mccabe. I know you are standing by on all of this. I think this is were at like 129 Mass Shootings in this country so far this year. And thats what more than the days of the year that weve already been through. This is different, though, than weve seen in the recent past. It looks like its potentially someone who was disgruntled. What are you learning . Well i mean, thats right, sarah. Its it is, indeed you know, in the most kind of specific details, its different from the last Mass Shooting that we all got together to talk about, um, the shooting in in nashville.
