The semi-automatic rifle used to kill five people and injure nine at the Louisville bank shooting on Monday will likely be auctioned off and be “back on the streets,” Mayor Craig Greenberg said.
Greenberg — who has called for an end to the gun violence plaguing his city — said current Kentucky law allows guns seized by the police to go to auction, including those used in violent crimes.
“The assault rifle that killed five of our neighbors will one day be auctioned off,” the mayor said Tuesday. “That murder weapon will be back on the streets.”
The Louisville Metro Police Department has revealed shooter Connor Sturgeon, 25, who was shot dead by responding officers, purchased the AR-15 rifle legally from a local gun dealership on April 4.
LMPD Interim Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel added that police have executed a search warrant at Sturgeon’s residence and recovered several items linked to the investigation.
