Bank employees, an “incredible friend,” a beloved parishioner and a “huge fan and supporter” of the community are among the five people killed and several others hospitalized after a gunman opened fire inside a bank in downtown Louisville
. Monday’s tragedy is the 146th mass shooting so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, and it comes exactly two weeks after three children and three adults were killed in a shooting at a Christian school in neighboring Tennessee, fueling a fierce fight between Democratic and Republican state lawmakers over gun control. Nickolas Wilt, a 26-year-old rookie officer, ran toward the gunfire and was shot in the head, interim Louisville Metro Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said.
“He was about lifting people up, building them up.” Elliott, 63, was also close friends with Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Greenberg, who said he spent Monday morning at the hospital with Elliott’s wife. “It is painful, painful for all of the families I know,” Greenberg said. “It just hits home in a unique way when you know one of the victims so well.
