Dramatic 911 calls released
Louisville police have released the dramatic 911 calls from Monday's mass shooting inside a bank.
One woman who called 911 said about eight or nine people have been shot. She said she was hiding in a closet in the first-floor conference room.
She told the dispatcher she knew the shooter, who worked with her.
Loud gunshots are heard booming in the background as the employee recounted what was happening.
The dispatcher told the woman to stay quiet and stay where she was. Whispering, she told the dispatcher there was a lot of blood.
The mother of the suspected gunman, 25-year-old Connor Sturgeon, called 911 to say her son's roommate called her and was concerned.
"He apparently left a note," she said.
"He's never hurt anyone, he's a really good kid," Sturgeon's mother told the dispatcher. "I don't know where he would've gotten a gun."
"I know he doesn't own any guns!" she told the dispatcher.
Sturgeon, who was killed by police at the scene, bought the AR-15 used in the attack legally on April 4 in Louisville, according to police.
