Louisville shooting: Bodycam footage of stand-off that left 5 dead at bank released by police

Global News published this video item, entitled “Louisville shooting: Bodycam footage of stand-off that left 5 dead at bank released by police” – below is their description.

WARNING: Video contains content that may be disturbing for viewers. Discretion is advised.

At a press conference on Tuesday, the Louisville Metro Police Department released dramatic bodycam video of officers responding to a Monday bank shooting where five people were killed. An officer killed the gunman after a tense stand-off.

The bodycam video shows the tense moments between police officers and the shooter, Connor Sturgeon. It begins with a video from officer Nickolas Wilt, who drives up to the scene with his training officer, identified as Cory “CJ” Galloway.

Wilt, police say, was shot in the head as he ran toward the gunshots police were facing as they arrived. Wilt’s camera shows him following Galloway up the outside steps to the bank, his service pistol in his two hands, and the video cuts off before he is shot.

Monday’s mass shooting was the 15th in the U.S. this year, which is the most during the first 100 days of a calendar year since 2009, when 16 incidents had occurred by April 10, according to a mass killings database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University.
