″The shooter took a long rifle and started shooting. He just started firing. We were at the back of the conference room. Blood splattered on me as the person next to me was shot.”
Police responded immediately, but the shooter killed five people, including a fellow bank teller.
In addition, nine people, including two police officers, were injured, including a new police officer in his 20s who was shot in the head.
The culprit is Conor Sturgeon, a 23-year-old white male.
He recently received a notice of termination from the bank where he worked and left notes to family and friends suggesting the shooting.
At the time of the crime, he also broadcast the shooting scene live through his social media.
