The gunman in a shooting rampage at a bank left a note stating that he purchased an AR-15 rifle legally a week ago and used it to “target” his victims, the Louisville police chief said Tuesday.
Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel confirmed the shooter was a bank employee who on April 4 bought at a local gun dealer the weapon used in Monday’s attack, which left five people dead. The victims were all bank employees, Gwinn-Villaroel said.
U.S. Rep. Morgan McGarvey, who spoke at a new conference Tuesday with city officials, said the gunman left a note behind and told at least one person he was suicidal. Video from the body cameras of officers who responded to the scene will be released later Tuesday, Gwinn-Villaroel said. 
Current laws “are enabling violence and murder”. “The reality is that we have already lost 40 people to gun violence in Louisville this year, including another young man yesterday, just a few blocks away,” Greenberg said. “That level of gun violence is beyond horrific,” he added.
It all started on a Monday morning when an employee opened fire inside a conference room during a morning staff meeting according to a manager at the bank. Officers received reports of shots fired at Old National Bank at 8:38 a.m., and within three minutes of being dispatched they arrived and exchanged gunfire with the attacker, who died at the scene. Eight people, including two police officers, were wounded in the attack.
