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”.
