Louisville police video shows officers fired upon in bank shooting that killed 5
Police body camera video released Tuesday shows the chaotic moments when police arrived at the scene of a mass shooting at a bank in downtownThe videos, taken from two wounded officers’ lapels, offer a rare perspective of police officers responding to a massacre that killed five and injured eight others Monday. One, a rookie officer, was shot in the head within minutes of arriving at the scene, as his partner was grazed by a bullet and sought cover while still trying to take down the shooter.
One still image from surveillance video showed the shooter, who worked at the bank, holding a rifle, wearing jeans, a blue button-down shirt and sneakers, surrounded by broken glass inside the building. He had already shot numerous people inside, and police said he set up an ambush position to attack officers as they arrived.The front doors are glass, elevated from the sidewalk, and because of the reflection, the officers could not see the shooter inside, Humphrey said.
The video shows Galloway approaching the suspect, who lay on the ground inside the lobby. As he walked, shards of broken glass crunched under his feet and the shooter’s body can be seen with a long rifle next to it.Wilt was transported in the back of a police car to a hospital, Humphrey said. In the chaotic first minutes, police treated and triaged the victims inside.
Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said it was crucial to release the footage because “transparency is important — even more so in a time of crisis.”
