The call was received at the exact moment police arrived at the scene and confronted the gunman.

Police have released panicked 911 calls made by the Louisville gunman’s mum and victims.

Connor Sturgeon’s mother, Lisa, made the Call to police after the gunman’s roommate told her that her son had a gun and was on his way to the bank.

Lisa Sturgeon told the dispatcher: “He’s a really good kid, please don’t punish him”.

The call was received at the exact moment police arrived at the scene and confronted the gunman.

The killer shot five colleagues, and injured nine, before being shot and killed by police.

The first emergency call came from a woman at another branch of the bank who saw the mass shooting during a Microsoft teams meeting before the bank opened.

Another witness also called 911 whispering amid gunshots that she was hiding in a closet as Sturgeon killed her co-workers.

This follows earlier developments from police, revealing the 25-year-old man’s final text just minutes before gunning people down.

Sturgeon sent a “I love you” message to his parents whilst on the phone to 911.

Sturgeon’s parents said in a statement that their son had been struggling with mental health issues saying: “there were never any warning signs or indications he was capable of this shocking act”.

Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady, balancing inflation and jobs, as some governors advocate for a cut.

The Federal Reserve has opted to keep interest rates unchanged, marking the first pause since July. Officials are showing little urgency to resume cuts, even after previous rate reductions.

Two Fed governors opposed the decision, calling for a quarter-point cut, highlighting ongoing debates within the rate-setting committee, which includes both appointed governors and regional bank presidents.

Concerns over the job market and persistent inflation continue to weigh heavily on the Fed’s policy decisions, leaving economists and investors closely watching the next moves.

Trump confirmed that a U.S. naval strike group led by the USS Abraham Lincoln is moving towards Iran, as protests grow inside the country over alleged government repression. The show of force comes amid heightened regional instability and mounting pressure on the Iranian leadership.
