Old National Bank manager witnessed Louisville shooting virtually

A manager at Old National Bank in Louisville was in a virtual meeting with her colleagues and watched in horror as they were gunned down inside a bank conference room Monday morning.

Bank manager Rebecca Buchheit-Sims told CNN she witnessed the Louisville shooting by employee Connor Sturgeon over a computer screen while attending a Microsoft Teams meeting that had just gotten underway.

During the gunfire, four people were killed and another nine were injured.

“I witnessed people being murdered. I don’t know how else to say that,” Buchheit-Sims told CNN.

“I’m just as much in shock and disbelief and was in disbelief as I watched it unravel,” she added.

The shooter was killed during a confrontation with authorities who quickly responded to the scene and engaged with the 23-year-old gunman.

Buchheit-Sims, who did not work directly with Sturgeon, said the shooter had “just kind of a monotone personality” and called him “extremely intelligent.”

“His temperament is pretty low-key,” she told the outlet. “I’ve never seen the kid get angry or upset about anything in public. He was pretty much just relaxed.”

She said she knew the killer’s father because her son was coached by him on his high school basketball team. Her husband was also an assistant coach on the team.

Tommy Elliott, 63, Jim Tutt, 64, Joshua Barrick, 40, and Juliana Farmer, 45 were identified as the four victims killed during the shooting.
