Louisville Bank Shooter Motivated by Lax Gun Laws, Police Report Reveals

Connor Sturgeon's personal writings criticize politicians and gun-interest groups, as victims' families and Sturgeon's family prepare lawsuits against the gun manufacturer.

Connor Sturgeon, the man who killed five people at a Louisville bank in April, was motivated by outrage over gun laws he considered lax, according to his personal writings revealed in a police report.
Sturgeon criticized politicians, gun-interest groups and party politics for deadly gun violence, and particularly for gun laws that made getting a rifle 'so easy.'
Sturgeon faced no barriers to entry as a gun owner in Kentucky, as he had no prior criminal record and the state does not have a 'red-flag' law.
Surviving victims and family members are finalizing a lawsuit against Radical Firearms, the Texas company that produced the rifle Sturgeon used.
Sturgeon's family has said they intend to sue the maker of the rifle used in the attack.
