Parents of Louisville shooter say there was "no clear tell" before rampage, call for stricter gun laws
CBSN
Less than three weeks after a gunman opened fire inside a bank in downtown Louisville, killing five people and injuring nine, the shooter's parents spoke out for the first time since the mass shooting in a "Today" show interview that aired on Thursday morning.
Lisa Sturgeon and Todd Sturgeon, whose 25-year-old son Connor Sturgeon was an employee at the Old National Bank and who was himself shot and killed while exchanging gunfire with responding police officers, said they were "heartbroken" and apologized to the families of the shooting victims.
But the parents primarily focused on raising awareness about how their child's turn to violence, even considering his long-lasting challenges with mental health, was unexpected, and called for changes to gun laws that could have made it more difficult for their son to legally purchase the assault weapon used in the mass shooting.
