Family of suspected Louisville bank shooter Connor Sturgeon says he suffered 'mental health challenges'
Sturgeon is believed to have fatally shot five people inside Old National Bank in downtown Louisville
The suspected gunman behind Monday's shooting at Old National Bank in Louisville, 25-year-old Connor Sturgeon, had "mental health challenges" but there were "never any warning signs" he was capable of carrying out the attack that left five dead and eight injured, his family said in a new statement.
The family said they were praying for the community and for the trauma his alleged actions caused.
The statement continued: "We mourn their loss and that of our son, Connor. We pray for everyone traumatized by his senseless acts of violence and are deeply grateful for the bravery and heroism of the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department."
"While Connor, like many of his contemporaries, had mental health challenges which we, as a family, were actively addressing, there were never any warning signs or indications he was capable of this shocking act," the family said.
The Sturgeon family issued a statement to the Louisville community apologizing for their son's actions on Monday that left five dead at Old National Bank in Louisville.
