Video from a witness shows a chaotic scene at Old National Bank in downtown Louisville.
“Active shooter at the bank” an officer screams as multiple gunshots are fired on the background.
The details emerging from this are very grim.
The shooter who killed four people and injured nine others at Old National Bank in Louisville, posted these messages on his instagram story this morning.
The last post by 23-year-old Connor Sturgeon read, “They won’t listen to words or protests. Let’s see if they hear this.”
"We're not done. We're going to win championships"
@vincetyra
knows the last few years for

have been more than challenging.
But, here we are in the first week December and you'd be hard pressed to find a more successful athletic program in the country.
It’s baffling the amount of high school football coaches screaming F bombs and GD in players’ faces on the sidelines.
You’re grown men coaching 16 and 17 year old kids. Be better.

“My administration isn’t not waiting to move ahead with reforms,” Fischer says.
Yesterday, I married a bride I have prayed for my entire life. We stood next to the people who love us. Then we celebrated with the people who we love.
As I sit here on a balcony in Mexico with a cold cerveza, I am overwhelmed with gratitude.
Who’s got it better than us?
@ImLiteralLarry1
Larry, long time listener, first time caller. Today is my birthday. Does that mean I can, in fact, party like it’s my birthday? I’ll hang up and listen.
After 16 years, my boy Jake left us today.
It’s hard to think about going home to the farm and not being greeted with his head rubbing against me. He’s the closest thing I ever had to a brother.
He passed peacefully at the farm he loved.
I’ll miss you like hell, Jake.
Massive police presence between Market and Main near Slugger Field.
Dozens of police cars, and I’ve also seen three ambulances leave the scene.
We’re working to find out what’s happening. Once we get info I’ll update.
"'You're not hurting anymore,'" Susan Sweeney Crum recalled thinking in the final moments with her husband. "Felton Spencer is up there waiting to give you a great big hug as soon as you walk across.”
Denny Crum’s wife Susan reflects on what Louisville meant to the legend.
My apartment neighbor’s girlfriend has been knocking on his door for over 10 minutes yelling “let me in!”
Meanwhile I’m drinking Busch Light on my couch watching Seinfeld. Someone crown me king of Valentine’s Day.
Today began a new journey on a familiar path.
After a short hiatus, I’m back at

Let’s go to work.

@LouisvilleMayor
is honoring the 2013 National Championship team with an actual banner at Metro Hall.
This is ahead of this weekend’s celebration for the 10th anniversary of the ‘13 team.
There’s been probably 10 strikes of lightning since kickoff here at Male High School… and no pause in play.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t
@KHSAA
require stoppage with lightning?
Eric Reed, Rich Strike’s trainer, broke down for the first time since the Kentucky Derby when we showed him our story.
“When I saw that, that’s the first time it sank in. You brought to life what I’ve been thinking.”
The NCAA is requiring media members on the first row to wear masks. Media members on 2nd and 3rd rows are not required to do that. So, that's interesting.
2.4 mile swim. 112 mile bike. 26.2 mile run.

A big shout out to those who supported us… most importantly my mom and smokin’ hot fiancé who were there every step of the way.
WATCH: Testifying in a civil trial Monday,
@LMPD
Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said she was NOT wearing a body camera on the scene of a deadly crash that followed a brief chase in 2021.
Attorneys showed a snapshot of video that proved otherwise.
Here's the exchange...
A thread regarding an interesting discrepancy in daily COVID-19 reporting:
Last week,
@GovAndyBeshear
reported eight new COVID-19 related deaths in Lincoln County.
I asked the county coroner about them and his office had no records of any recent deaths.
Days like today prove that
@ToddStewartWKU
is very, very good at his job.
He has built an empire at Western Kentucky University through tremendous leadership, passion and belief in his programs - and it’s on full display for the entire country to see.
@AnnieAgar
Annie, I finished IM MD Saturday and saw your dad and brother on the course several times.
In moments of discomfort and pain, it put a lot in perspective for me.
Congratulations to your dudes. They are an inspiration to so many.
NEW:
@WDRBNews
has learned that the city will pay a total of $12 million to the family of Breonna Taylor.
The Taylor family attorneys along with
@louisvillemayor
are holding a joint press conference at 2 p.m.
The city of Louisville will pay several million dollars to the family of Breonna Taylor. It’s the largest police misconduct settlement the city has ever paid in a lawsuit.
Damn near 20 live shots later I’m peacing out to a nap and a Busch Light or 12 to follow.
Stay safe and warm, Louisville, and keep your TVs on

Traffic in Louisville is becoming unbearable.
I can’t be the only one thinking the backups and congestion have gotten considerably worse in recent years.
I love that Austin Reed decided to stay at Western Kentucky, but had he came to Louisville under Brohm… dude might’ve thrown for a million yards next year.
Ironman Chattanooga 70.3 is complete and goals were crushed... but nothing compares to this moment right here after this race. Doing this with my old man was one of the highlights of my life.
On to the next...

Western Kentucky has to be the most conditioned team in college football.
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a team get on the ball and get a snap off quicker than the Tops do.
BUC-EE’S: Arch “Beaver” Aplin,

@CookOut
There are *checks notes* six (6) colleges in the city of Louisville.
We host the Kentucky Derby (150k attendance) and Thunder Over Louisville (500k-800k attendance).
Louisville’s population is triple that of Tallahassee.
Miss me.
What’s next for
@LouisvilleMBB
? The next few decisions will certainly shape the future.
The man making the call on the next head coach has ‘temporary’ in his job description - for now.
Hot take?
If Kentucky is fine with the record it seems to achieve every year, Mark Stoops was born to be the head coach here.
If not, this game was the perfect sign that it’s time to say thanks and move on.
Like a kid in a candy shop.
I’m accompanying
@rickbozich
on his first visit to Cooperstown and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Hang this in the Louvre.
My fiancé is announcing award at an event and just introduced someone as “the hardest working man she knows.”
This is an all time tough scene for me and I am asking for your thoughts & prayers.
Thank you.
How awesome to see all D-1 teams in the Commonwealth come out this season and outperform expectations across the board. Kentucky, UofL, WKU all with bowl wins.
What a time to be a Kentuckian!
As hard of a day in our city as there has ever been.
But Louisville is resilient. And those of us who call her home are tough.
As the world watches on in the coming days, my hope is that our love and kindness hastily drive out the hate and turmoil as quickly as it arrived.
This ole boy from Louisa, Noah Thompson, has me fired up watching American Idol.
He and his buddy are the epitome of Eastern Kentucky. This is awesome.
BIG RED LAWSUIT: Alright, it's one of the best sports business stories we've heard in a long time. Big Red vs. Gabbibo, year 15. The fabled tale needs telling, so Big Red's creator
@Ralphcarey
and WKU's legal team helped me do that. Check it out:
As the sun sets on one of the most devastating days in Bowling Green history, its university’s basketball team leaves an Atlanta with a dominant win over an SEC team to remind us all that yesterday, today and tomorrow is still Dear Old Western’s day.

Looking forward to what year two brings.
