LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Louisville Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has closed their investigation into the mass shooting that happened at Old National Bank on April 10, 2023.
It's been almost one year since Connor Sturgeon opened fired at the bank, killing five people and injuring several others.
In a statement sent to WHAS11, Louisville ATF said their investigation was consistent with Louisville Metro Police's (LMPD), and that the gun used in the shooting has officially been destroyed.

LMPD released their 64-page report in November 2023, citing disturbing social media posts and several notebooks where the shooting wrote daily entries about his unhappiness with his job direction, society, and political issues.
They also found letters he wrote to his family. He said in the letter he had struggled with the “pressure of life” and “the expectations,” and he felt like there was nothing to work toward.
He had also described how easy it was for him to get his gun and ammo.
The survivors of the shooting and the victims' families have since sued the gun shop, River City Firearms, of ignoring red flags when they sold everything to him.
However, there are concerns about the lawsuit itself.
"If there's something that's not a law, and there's something we're not trained upon, no that's not fair game for a lawsuit," retired gun store owner Barry Laws said to WHAS11 News back in January.
