Photos discovered online show Sturgeon looking like a normal 25-year-old with family and friends – and leaving questions about his motives.

Sturgeon was described by a friend and former high school teammate as smart, popular and a star athlete in high school track, football and basketball, The Daily Beast reported.

Louisville Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said Sturgeon was live-streaming when he opened fire with a rifle at about 8:38 a.m. in the Old National Bank Building.

Four people died and nine others were injured, including three police officers.

Sturgeon is now dead after he and police exchanged gunfire, Gwinn-Villaroel said.

It is unclear if the police shot him or if he shot himself.

There are four confirmed Old National Bank employees who have been killed.

They include senior vice president Tommy Elliott, 63, market executive Jim Tutt, 64, senior vice president of commercial real estate Josh Barrick, 40, and commercial banking agent Juliana Farmer, 57.
