7:01 am
direct .com. good morning, everyone we do begin with breaking news this morning. alright you are looking at live pictures. there was breaking news out of louisville, kentucky . you see a huge police presence there. there are quote multiple casualties, according to police as they respond to an active aggressor officials, including the f are telling everyone to stay away from the area of 300 block of east main street. the mayor also urging the public to stay away from the area. we have now learned that this is a shooting that there are multiple people who are down, including a police officer. our cnn correspondent omar jimenez is following the developments as we watch them there live from our affiliate. w e. we are seeing a lot of police down there, and we're hearing that the governor may be on his way. what can you
7:02 am
tell us? omar? that's right, sara. for starters, they are describing this as an active or as a shooting incident in downtown louisville. they had been describing it earlier. the louisville police is trying to get under control and active aggressor situation in which there were multiple casualties, and we are learning right now that there are six victims, including one police officer in this incident, according to preliminary information from a source with direct knowledge of the scene on the ground, they were apparently shot. shots exchanged between the shooter and police during this incident , and according to this source, the gunman is down and the incident is over. so there's good news there that this is not currently an active, ongoing situation, but it's for what actually transpired in the amount of people that you know, maybe hurt or potentially even worse. here is a major question. as this unfolds as you hinted that as well, there are multiple officials that are trying to get
7:03 am
out information as quickly as they can, the mayor saying and urging people to stay away from downtown. it's similar calls we've heard and seen from local law enforcement, but also some of those on the federal side as well. sara we are looking at some of the videos. now we're getting a view from a helicopter above of the scene where you see police officers all over the place. i do want to ask you if we know yet, and this is always hard to know when this information is just coming in. but if we know yet if the shooter in this case is one of the victims, or we do not have that yet so far, six victims you said one of them is a police officer. we don't know the status of the of their health yet, do we? that's right. no we're still trying to see their conditions or conditions are unknown. they have been transported all of them to university hospital there, and it is unclear if the shooter is listed as among one of those victims. but as i talked about
7:04 am
some of those officials heading to the scene to try and get more information, we do know that kentucky governor andy beshear has confirmed that he is heading to the scene. he was one of the first to confirm that this was actually a shooting that we were dealing with here. but of course, this is in the middle of the major metro city. we can imagine there were a lot of witnesses, potentially at least people who heard the gunshots were at the very least saw the amount of law enforcement and or 1st 1st aid personnel. that actually responded to the scene as we see some of the images on the screen, but it's six victims in total and again as we're learning from a source with direct knowledge of the scene, one of them appears to be a police officer as officials of multiple jurisdictions try to get a handle on obviously what happened who this suspect or or gunmen may have been, but also when you talk about those that are responding, the f the fbi is also acknowledged they are helping with this as well likely
7:05 am
trying to trace the origins of this weapon. a lot of things begin going into effect with the scene like this, but a lot of details that are still coming in, even at the very least, again, just two conditions. of these six victims again. as far as we know, so far, we're looking at the scene from a bird's eye view and what you can notice immediately as you're watching it is that the officers are no longer frantic that the scene has been quite calm you c e m s. they're taking what appears to be a victim into the ambulance. if i can see that correctly, and so you're seeing things that look like they're calm there. are they have dogs out is well, and you mentioned the atf, the fbi. we're expecting the governor to come down there as well. can you give us any sense of where exactly as i know it's downtown, but i thought it was a particularly harrowing when you heard the mayor say, basically look, stay away from the area around slugger field, very popular place for a lot of folks there
7:06 am
in louisville. a lot of kids too. yeah i mean, so, your field you imagine it's a place that many people would want to be would want to gather. you know, it's a place people from out of town would potentially come as well. so it's a it's a known location. it's unclear if that has anything to do, or at least it was on the mind of this person who allegedly did this here, but it obviously will be a major point of this investigation. moving forward was their significance. to this particular location of this person coming in. was this a targeted attack? or was this a situation where where it was something outside of the realm of that particular motivation, so there are still just so many questions at this point, but again, it's six people that we know of so far, at least according to our source here in that preliminary information and because we don't know the status of their conditions. it's hard
7:07 am
to know the severity of this particular attack, but at the same time, with the amount of law enforcement and the number of jurisdictions about the local , federal and state level that are now responding, you have to imagine this is a very serious incident. they're treating it as such you we've been showing the aerial images. there are so many law enforcement that have responded here, so we hope to have more interest soon. and of course, we'll be tracking it for you as things that fell. omar thank you so much for tracking this for us getting on the air as fast as possible. i do want to mention you know, as we're looking at these pictures from the helicopter, you see, there are several areas that have crime tape around them, so there could have been several different areas where some of this shooting happened. i want to get straight to juliette kayyem. she is here live with us to give us some insight into this. she is on the phone. excuse me. not in the studio. can you give us some sense of what happens next when you have this mass casualty the event that we have seen. so many times
7:08 am
in this country, including of course this year, and we're just in april. right so it's state is going to be slightly different, and you know, just to be clinical about it because we are in an ongoing mass casualty event is local louisville police are clearly taking lead right now they need to account for individuals for bodies and also for more victims who may not be close to that area. you are also going to get what we generally see as a lot of concerned citizens who don't know where family members are we don't know the conditions of who we're reporting has been injured, but we certainly know just from experience that the governor's announcement and his presence there suggest that this is an event that everyone is taking notice of until we figure out what the motive might be or what what the ongoing investigation
7:09 am
is, depending on mode of louisville police sophisticated police department i have worked with them in the past. i know kentucky. uh very well. very sophisticated police department will take the lead. if there's a federal nexus, the fbi will come in. i should say, um kentucky has been no stranger to a lot of disasters lately. governor bashir whether related disasters in particular has is known in my field as someone who has their head on straight will not make this political want to protect the citizens of kentucky as well. well as the mayor. so you have a you have a serious people now taking this very seriously and so we'll just continue to wait to get verified information from our reporters or the police department and one in fact, the motive maybe. juliette i just want to let people know and it is disturbing video. we're just
7:10 am
watching from the helicopter. you see a large amount of blood up on the steps and what looks like a building that is either residential or an office building and right across the street. um you are seeing a dozens of police officers. they are sort of standing right outside and there they are there outside of slugger field. you see the atf there? the fbi is also taking part of this. what does that tell you? does that tell you anything about the shooting? or does that tell you that they just responded because they were called in? yeah so, basically how it would work is the second you have any mass casualty event at this stage, you're going to deploy as many resources as possible. you simply do not know how big this thing is going to get and you know, it's easier to retract, uh , capabilities after they're deployed, but what you don't want to be is in a situation that you think is minimal, and then it ends up being much larger in particular. given that the situation and the stat and
7:11 am
the location of what we're looking at right now. now you are going to assume this is no accident that that's sort of the safer assumption at this stage in terms of both purpose and motive, you can always reassess that. so the deployment of resources is what law enforcement trains for all the time, you will have the local first the louisville police department. they then have a spent relatively quickly that this is a big deal and then call out through an incident command structure that they're trying. rains under for state and then, of course, federal assets relatively soon they are going to determine what if and what? there is a federal nexus. uh huh. and where the where the fbi will have jurisdiction, so we'll know that pretty soon, but you know, governor bashir is en route if he's not there already, so they view this as a as a, uh , very you know a big deal in
7:12 am
terms of both mass casualties. and the and the location and i don't want to tell people what we were watching as you were speaking juliet. what you are seeing is the helicopter above the scene. there are lots of different scenes that appears to be where this shooting apparently took place. you can see blood on the steps of the building, but you're also saw someone taking pictures and being very interested in a particular car. it was a great car, so lots going on in the scene right now. i'm going to toss it over to john. who is there with mr miller? who's got a lot of details. all right. thanks so much. sarah yeah. john miller, senior cnn law enforcement analyst, former senior official. with the new york city police department. john you have new details about what is happening on the ground preface ng that by everything's preliminary now because this incident isn't very old, and you know this information tends to change. but the sense we're getting is that somewhere around 8 30 individual walks into the old national bank and the 300
7:13 am
block of east main street. with a weapon and opens fire. ah bank employees that could fled to the vault and secured themselves inside. police get there. the doors are locked. they're able to gain entry. there's a confrontation with the shooter. shots are fired by the shooter. shots are fired by the louisville metropolitan police. um six people. ah we're taking the university hospital with gunshot wounds, one of them we understand at this point is a police officer. the gunman we understand is down. they have been able to identify him. so what you see now is um, the clearing of the building. they've got to go up through that building to all the floors. um find people who are hiding people who might be in closets. the building at this point seems to be clear. and now they're going through the crime scene inside the bank. um looking for
7:14 am
the car that's connected to the shooter. fbi is on the scene, assisting for a couple of reasons. one it's a bank, which makes a crime inside a bank or even entering a bank. with the intent to commit a felony, a federal crime, but they're there primarily to see whatever louisville pd needs victim witness assistance. forensics um anything like that. you've got a t f on the scene. they're going to be looking at the gunman's weapon doing those traces to figure out where it was purchased. and when and what other guns there might be. that they might need to roll back on a location house to a search warrant and so on. so lots of moving parts right now, let me bring people up to speed. if they're just tuning in right now, the breaking news is that there has been a shooting in downtown louisville. john miller , who is with me right now is reporting. it happened inside a bank you see up on your screen six victims, including a police officer. we do not know the condition of those victims. that's right if they're wounded,
7:15 am
or worse. we just don't know at this point. so when we say victims, we do not know the conditions. john you mentioned a bank that's happened inside all inside the bank, or did it continue out into the street again? very fluid. we know part of it happened inside, and i believe that the primary police response was to a bank, which was locked and closed, so they had to they had they had to force their way in and inside. there was this confrontation, whether or not that's built onto the streets actually, too early to say it. was it a robbery. we hear a shooting in a bank did its does it seem as if this individual walked into a bank to shoot people? or did this individual walk into a bank to steal? uh, too early to tell what the motive was. but it does not at this time appeared to be an attempted bank robbery, right when this type of thing happens in a city where unfortunately. conditioned to think of schools
7:16 am
, churches, other places, but you're talking about a city in a downtown area. how does that impact the response? well you've got an immediate response, which basically takes up the entire band width of the police department. that's in the beginning. you know you've got shots being fired. you've got multiple victims. you've got hospital transport, and then you've got to sort through the fog of war. is it? this one gunman was it month multiple gunmen. is there any other threat in the building? so at this point louisville is coming back to something close to normal, meaning police are back to responding to calls in other districts and other part of the city's. they're working on the scene to determine okay. how many people do we still need here? how many people can we put back on patrol? um the key point is that the threat is over. the gunman is down, and now it's about piecing together. who is this individual? what's the motive? why are we hear any word
7:17 am
on the weapons used? no not at this. not at this point. i don't know whether it was a long gun or a pistol or multiple guns. but there was a law enforcement response which led to a shootout. in the news this morning. six victims we do not know their conditions. six people transported to the hospital, including a police officer. after this shooting that happened at a bank this morning in downtown louisville. has john miller just pointed out . we're looking at live pictures right now of the aftermath, which looks like obviously the windows, john there. just shot out well, or that could be the police breach to get inside the bank, which was locked when they got there. and again as you're looking at these shots you can see the situation does seem to be in control. it is now obviously, situation is over at this point. i mean, what they're dealing with is at the hospital trying to save people at the scene, trying to have a crime scene investigation now that the building has been cleared. alright again, so we're gonna do we're gonna get more information
7:18 am
. we're gonna try to find out what we can about the conviction conditions of the six people who were at the hospital after a shooting. um i guess less than an hour ago in louisville, kentucky at a bank. this is cnn news central. our live coverage continues right after this. asking the right question can greatly impact your future. are you qualified to do this? espepecially when it comes to yr finances? are y you a certified financial p planner, cfp professional professionals are committed to acting in your best interest. that's why it's got to didn't make the dance tm. what do i always say? switch your car insurance to progressive and you could save huneds better now. not really. switched to progressive and you could save hundreds. mhm. no mhm. like to

7:23 am
conference. we're going to take you to that just now. i will reiterate that this is an ongoing investigation. this information is preliminary, and it will be updated shortly. we asked that the public remain away from the scene. it will be an ongoing scene that will take a long time to investigate. but there is no active danger known to the public at this time. if anyone has any information related to this incident, we asked that you call 574 l mpd. we will have an another update press conference at 11 30. we will be able to answer more questions and put out more information. as of now, that is all the information that we are able to provide. thank you, please. thank you. all right. you are hearing from the police there in louisville, giving a little bit more information. apparently that is a bank building. there. you see what is left of what's happened there from the shooting. there is blood on the bottom. so there is disturbing video. you will see the windows have also been shot
7:24 am
out there. a couple of those windows shattered. let's go to cnn's omar jimenez, who has been following this up since just a few moments ago. watching all this happen. did you hear anything new from police? we now know there are six people who have been shot, including a police officer. do we hear anything about their conditions or anything like that? well you know, we got the tragic update as we're seeing that five people are dead, six taken to the hospital after the shooting. and obviously when you first get reports of an active shooter of an active aggressor, these are the types of reports that you worry about that the situation. updates to the casualty is that we're seeing here. the fatalities that are being reported here now, one thing that we did learn from this as well is that the active, aggressive threat as they described it was over. they said the suspected shooter has been neutralized or the shooter has been neutralized. at this point . we're also learning a little
7:25 am
bit more about what was happening as this was unfolding, but this is coming from a witness account who is nearby, who spoke to one of our affiliates, saying he got a call from his wife, who said there was an active shooter in that she was locked inside of vault at the old national bank here, and so the man called 911. but officers were already aware this was happening around 8 30 in the morning there. he described it as a traumatic phone call with his wife, essentially calling him from inside the bank vault where she was sheltering at the time. he since talked to her and that she's okay, but obviously this was a situation that the shooter was actively firing at, folks, and we know at least one person, potentially even others were sheltering inside a bank vault just to just to be safe just to protect themselves. and so obviously we've gotten the update from police that some of these casualties have confirmed now into fatalities, and that others have been taken to the hospital. their conditions are
7:26 am
still unknown. we know the governor is headed out to the scene right now we know there's law enforcement, multiple jurisdictions that have said they are responding at the local level louisville police but also a t f f b. i and so i think at this point we're now waiting to see what develops from here, including the potential identity of the shooter here, and we watch to see if these numbers unfortunately grow, as they typically do when we get into the early stages of reporting mass shootings like these sarah really terrifying hearing that account from inside of the bank , a woman in a bank vault saying someone was shooting. there are lots of potential things that may have happened here. we don't know at this point if there was a robbery, if this was a disgruntled, we don't know anything about why, but we do know now five people have perished in the shooting. you've got one person who has been taken to the hospital. omar jimenez. thank you so much for following this story for us in downtown louisville. kate the
7:27 am
update on this breaking news this developing situation out of louisville, kentucky, according to police. there are now five concert five confirmed dead, six others transported to the area hospital following the shooting at a bank in louisville. juliette kayyem. she's with us back now, juliet. more information is coming in. and now this has become very serious situation, with five fatalities reported by police just now with we're going to have another update in about an hour, it seems louisville police, which will learn some more about your reaction now learning these more details. these additional details. well i mean, this is you know, this is a mass casualty event, which are defined as for more people dead in a single incident and not the first one over the course of the last three days, and so this is this is part of a nationwide issue in which guns are being utilized. used for whatever purpose. we don't know motive
7:28 am
yet, and you have five people whose lives are taken. and then, of course, the family members and community that are impacted by that. the six taken to the hospital. we don't know what their condition is, and that's going to actually depend on the gun type. ah is it you know is this is this is this an an survivable? uh gun wound, and they were just able to make it to the hospital or will we see some good news related to those six that they're able to be safe? louisville has a excellent hospitals and an emergency response protocol that i'm very familiar with for a variety of reasons related to whether and also high profile events that they hold so they have a rigorous incident command. that is now in play here that you're seeing on the screen right now, and we'll hear more from the police about potential motive that's going to be our focus. and then, of course, the weapon. two things i wanted to ask you about it. heard you mentioned earlier that you've you have familiarity with the louisville police and their capabilities in
7:29 am
terms of now what is going to be in the police even said in this press conference is going to be a very long investigation, and also the fact that this is taking this this has taken this has taken place in a bank. just what that what that brings to mind for you in terms of what happens now. so and we can't ignore that fact that this the banks are traditionally targets . they're not soft targets, though, and that's going to be the interesting part of this. i heard someone mentioned earlier . you're always going to look to workplace violence of former employee someone who knows an employee because if you the banks are just so fortified that they end up not being very easy to get money out of, and because most bank robbers essentially do not want killings. they want to get the money and get out. so this in my mind just based on experience, this is not similar to other bank robberies, so that's why the police said. we're going to continue to look to motive because we don't know
7:30 am
if there's a nexus between the killer and of course, some aspect of the bank. but of course, we have to put a bank robbery on the list of potential. motives at this stage when i talk about louisville, kentucky. ah you know, you're you're talking about urban police department that is knows how to do this, and they're basically talking about the long investigation ahead. whether there's a federal nexus will depend will will trigger the extent to which the fbi or the u. s attorney's office will be involved. i suspect that this press conference at 11 30, you'll see everyone because we simply don't know yet you'll see local, state and federal entities combined together until they're able to figure out what the motive is. but you know, it is not necessarily true that you say bank and then therefore this is a bank robbery. most bank robberies do not result in these kinds of casualties. not not five dead. this is this is this is something based on my
7:31 am
experience this this is probably something else just reiterate the update from law enforcement that just happened at a very brief press conference that happened. five people dead six. at least six others is how it's described. people were transported to the university of louisville hospital, including one officer with various injuries is how the law enforcement officer that was handling the briefing, put it and also importantly, in addition, as people wondering the law enforcement officer briefing at the scene, says the shooter is confirmed to be dead circumstances around his death, though. unknown we do know we saw a tweet from governor andy bashir that he was headed to the scene and of course, when, when any of us see that? that obviously means that this this situation is this is generally in terms of the ongoing threat to the community is over. the governor would not be be be heading there with his detail. had it not been. engineering they've seen our shots. that's absolutely right. so the governor is getting his briefings from the state police
7:32 am
. this governor as i was saying in the earlier our is no stranger to crisis is and disasters. he sort of came with between covid and then a number of other disasters. he's sort of well known to be able to help manage a community. and get the resources that are necessary. they would not be sending him but for the fact that the that the that the that the facility and the cider of course protected we know the gunman is dead at this stage, and the big issue is once again every time is family unification and notification. there are five families whose whose lives have changed today as a result of what happened six additional ones. ah around the six victims at the hospital who are looking to see where their loved one is . this is the primary focus right now. we need to do this right and you need to care for these families in terms of the unification and getting people
7:33 am
to back together again. it's the primary. you know, it's sort of rule number one now in mass shootings. we just have to treat the family as well as they learn this news or taking the hospitals to see their loved ones. yeah juliette kayyem. thank you, as always juliet juliet for jumping on in these moments of crisis. thank you, john. over to you alright, with us now chief, cnn law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller, former senior official in new york city police department. also at the federal level. just what we know again. five people killed at the old national bank on east main street in downtown louisville. six others injured. you've been on the phone as you're sitting here with me. what have you learned? what we understand is the gunman walked into the bank early this morning opened fire on people. some people were able to flee to the bank vault and lock themselves in. and then we're able to contact police from inside the vault. police arrived on the scene. the bank doors were locked. they
7:34 am
attempted to get in, had to break their way in by breaching the doors, and at this point, there is some kind of armed confrontation with the shooter. the shooter is down and deceased at the scene weapons have been recovered from the shooter. or i should say a weapon or weapons, the circumstance that is not clear right now, and this is not uncommon to have this fog as an incident unfolding quickly, and you've got multiple versions from multiple people is whether police, um, killed the shooter in an exchange of gunfire, or whether the shooter opened fire on police and sell and killed himself from his self inflicted wound. again that's all up in the air while they process that crime scene review body camera if there is any, um from the responding units and talk to witnesses beyond the body camera. of course, it's a bank. there will be multiple cameras with multiple angles of video of
7:35 am
what occurred inside multiple angles of video. hang on. i'm so sorry, sir. it's just we just got video in of the situation. i do believe you will hear some gunshots here. so let's all take a look at what just came in. alright. we heard three gunshots there. clearly there were many more than that, john miller anything you can tell from that , and also just the timing of this. this all happened before. in theory, the bank would have been open to customers was 8 30 am local time, depending on
7:36 am
where the bank opens, whether that's nine o'clock but the key factor is whether it occurred when the bank was open, and that's how the shooter gained access or after when police got there. the doors were locked. they had to force their way inside. i'm sorry. circle heads are often are places where we all know there's usually security, usually armed security , and it's one of the most secure places. is there any sense that maybe those doors could be locked from the inside? if there's something that happens? because if the doors were locked, it tells you a little bit more about the suspect, does it not? um it does . but yet that's a that's still an unknown whether the doors were locked and the suspect gained entry and the doors were locked behind him or whether he caused the doors to be locked for the very purpose of slowing down the police response or holding hostages. just a lot that at this stage isn't clear in the narrative of the facts we do know are there were shots
7:37 am
fired. police forced entry. there were additional shots fired. a police officer was injured and the gunman was killed. got five people who apparently were killed inside six others taken to the hospital . so it's an extraordinarily serious incident in the standard that they used to classify these things it it counts as a mass shooting. john juliette kayyem raise raise something that again in the early moments, possibly unknowable. but are you hearing any suggestion because the shooting happened at a bank? it's juliette says it doesn't necessarily mean it was an attempted bank robbery. are you hearing anything from your sources suggesting any direction in terms of that? what i'm hearing from my sources and caveat everything by saying at this stage, it's all preliminary as they do not believe it was a bank robbery. that's really which also leaves open a slew of other motivations that we don't know yet which we could be hearing. and where are we now? in about an hour when the police
7:38 am
said that they could offer the next briefing, bank whether or not you're going there to rob it or something else if you are going to engage in shooting at a bank there can't be a reasonably high expectation you'll get out alive. it is the type of place that is well guarded. guarded where people are well armed and you know that there will be a quick police response or you should know that. i mean, it's one of the things you factor in. but as we see and so many of these active shooter incidents and, you know, we're all kind of a broken record on this, but too many active shooter incidents. the idea that we're having some version of this conversation literally every week or every two weeks. um, is a problem. but as we learned from the collective wisdom is the shooter often doesn't intend to come out alive. and there are exceptions to that. if you look at the buffalo supermarket shooting, he wrote in his own manifesto and built into his plans. part of my goal is to survive the shooting to tell my story and so on. but in many of these cases, we see
7:39 am
them expecting to be confronted or killed by police or take their own lives. it's um it's part of the narrative in the active shooter genre, which is i'm going to rewrite the story of my life and recast myself. breaking news is we are now learning that five people are dead, six taken to the hospital in louisville, kentucky, the old national bank. a shooting there this morning. the incident is over. we'll get a new details in we're gonna have much more right after a quick break on cnn news, central. hey, man. could savave hundreds for safe driving witith liberty mutual because dememise your car insurance, so yoyou ony pay for what youou need. who we gotta go again for what you need is liberty. liberty liberty. hey hey, hey, get away 10. years ago , i invented the ring video doorbell for moments like that

7:44 am
month contact homeserve before there's a problem. call 1 803 to 40163 or visit homeserve dot com . alvarez at the white house, and this is cnn. we come back to our breaking news. you're looking at live pictures of the scene there in downtown louisville. there has been a shooting at old national bank. five people are dead. six others are injured, including a police officer. all six have been transferred to the hospital. the officer has several different injuries. we're going to go now to cnn's omar jimenez, who is live for us, and he's been tracking all of this, um from the moment it happened, i think around 8 30 i just looked up at the bank doesn't open until nine. so getting a little bit more information. about what? this. maybe. what do you have
7:45 am
for us, omar? of course, sarah and you know that's one thing that the police and investigators will be looking into as far as you know. why did this particular shooter do this ? and that timing? of course. very key. now one thing we've gotten from police is we just got that as to this point. you said it was around 8. 30 is exactly correct. calls came in for an active aggressor as it was described initially around 8 30 this morning at the old national bank. we know this was an active shooter. officers came on the scene within minutes, the lone shooter, as described by louisville police has been killed. and then the total killed is five. at least six more transported to the hospital . and critically, there is no further danger to the public this morning as well, but they are still asking the public to avoid the area and some further insight into how sort of this unfolded as we got that a little bit from a witness who is nearby
7:46 am
, trying to speak to or was on the phone with his wife, who was sheltering inside of vault at this bank. she knew there was an active shooter going on. so likely she was in there to try and protect yourself from the shooter. we don't know if there were others in there with her as well. she was asking her husband to call 911. by the time he did get a hold of 911. they said they were already aware of this particular incident. as police have mentioned they were on the scene within minutes, and then at this point, we do know that the shooter has been killed, though, how he was killed or the manner in which this exchange of gun fires, as we've learned is still unknown, which could also provide a key detail as well, sir. okay omar there with new information that the shooter is dead. there are five people who have been killed. that seems to include the shooter and we've got some sound some updates for you. let's listen to him. she's at the bank at this building.
7:47 am
their protocol is to get into the vault. me and her have had that conversation several times. ah hit the panic button. go to the vault. don't fight. don't do anything. lock yourself up hard and let it go. okay so you heard there they have a protocol, like every bank would to go into the vault but hit the panic button first, which, of course, would alert authorities that something terrible is going on inside the bank. do we know anything new about the condition of the officers or the others who have been taken to the hospital at this point? at this point. we've just been described that there are varying conditions right now . for the particular law enforcement he's been being described or they've been. they are being described as one officer with various injuries. that's a quote being given, so we'll wait to see what comes of that, including, of course, the others as well. but sarah, as we know we're in the preliminary stage of a mass shooting like
7:48 am
this, and you and i have covered many of these, unfortunately too many, especially across the united states and the numbers we get. the preliminary typically aren't the ones that we end up with at the end of the day, so we're hoping that this case is the exception here even as tragic as this has already been , but obviously that is one side of things. and then the other side is going to be trying to piece together. what may have motivated this person into this was this a personal dispute was this a dispute with the bank itself? was this someone who just had rage in their heart and wanted to commit violence? they're all going to be very critical questions and to trying to piece together any sort. of why here but no matter what that answer ends up being, it will likely be little comfort to those who have already lost loved ones. sarah absolutely. this has happened more than 128 times so far this year. that's more mass shootings than days of the year. and we do know now the bank this happened around 8 30, the police said. the bank didn't open until nine. jon and kate
7:49 am
and john miller is here. still with us, john just reacting to that bit of sound that interview that we just heard from on the scene, this man speaking to his wife saying, you know, there's protocol in place, hit the panic button and run to the vault. it just kind of, but still five people are dead, one of being the shooter. six others injured just shows how quickly this really unfolded. i mean, these things do move very quickly. so you know if you hear shots, and you have the wherewithal to escape to the vault and then close the vault that puts you in a contained safe environment. it's a vault. i mean, that's a real advantage. but by the time you heard those shots, what's the damage that's already been done, and it sounds like as it's unfolding and we'll learn more. the press conference seems to be moved up to 11 now. so in a short while we'll hear from deputy chief paul humphreys and other partners with the louisville, louisville pd to fill us in, but it sounds like somebody opened fire and those
7:50 am
who could flee to safety did and those who couldn't are likely among those five fatalities in the bank and the six who were transported to hospitals and one of the things we did or that did come out of that press conference, which we're trying to get ahold of right now is that officers do say they arrived on the scene within minutes. um that's a very quick response. um and you know, witnesses that you know, we've seen reporting say they heard shots. police were there very quickly. they made an attempt to breach the bank and weren't able to and had to come back and do a second attempt which got them inside. that could be, um you know, theoretically, a bank should be a hard place to get into. that may have needed tools , including breaching tools to get through that door, and that's what led to the confrontation where the police officer was shot. and then there's all the rest that comes with this, which is you've got and you've got a bank at 3 33 east main street, but you've got
7:51 am
an eight story building involved in that. you have people you know who have fled who are hiding? who heard shots, so they had to clear every floor of that building and then hold that area and then clear the next floor looking for is there another gunman? are there people hiding and all that, so it took a long time to be able to say this is over. the gunman is down. the people have been transported, and now we're basically in crime scene mode. just an update for everybody. we're just getting this in from our white house unit from cnn's jeremy diamond. the president biden has been informed of the shooting in louisville. this is, according to white house a white house official and that the white house is going to have more to share later on and look as john and we all have been saying. this is the latest mass shooting in this country. this is the latest time that president biden has been notified of a mass shooting. this is the latest time he will no doubt have to make a statement. it's the easter egg roll at the white
7:52 am
house there in the midst of it right now, roll so you, you know, you can only imagine, um the mixture of emotions there as this is all happening, something that you're very familiar with. john is just how, um practice and prepared, um police departments around the country need to be with not just the rapid response to calls and reports of an active shooter, but how to deal with as it continues to unfold. what do you think of just how quickly we now are going to have if we wouldn't call our second press conference ? this is the first call is coming into 8 30 whenever second press conference coming in starting at 11 a.m. you're what do you what's your taking kind of the response that we have seen as much more to learn of the motivation and the details that we can't it's tough to speculate about at this point. i mean, what we see so far is a little bit of the model of a lot of things were done here, right that we can just see at this stage and you know this will be
7:53 am
reviewed and reviewed later. but what you see is a fast response . that's number one number two. what you see is okay, so we're not going to wait outside and, you know, wait for the hostage negotiating team and assess what's going on. it will be a important question to know. did they hear shots where they're 911 calls already about people down, but what you saw there next is immediate action. rapid deployment that's former contact team and make your way to the threat to do that. they had to break through windows. they had to enter a bank where they knew based on the 911 calls that there was a gunman inside and advance towards that threat and meet that threat at their own peril. and then there was a gunfight, apparently between louisville pd and the gunman. we still don't know whether they killed the gunman or whether the gunman took his own life. we understand that's a 35 year old individual. they have they have his identity. they have not yet
7:54 am
identified him publicly. that will probably tell them a lot, which we will learn later as to the motive, but you also saw important steps. they tweeted out to the public. this is going on. stay away from that area. they tweeted out to the public when it was under control and still to stay away from the area. and for our standpoint within a very short time. they did a preliminary press conference. here's what we know. here's what we don't know. here's when we're coming back, and they're coming back again. within the next few minutes public this is ongoing and there's an ongoing threat or to alleviate what obviously is going to be quick and widespread anxiety that you know if it has , if it has come to a conclusion , but i mean, i think what we saw here is they used all the tools, you know that they had, whether they were social media director, mass media the immediate action rapid deployment response. um, this is unfortunately something that is well trained for, but really, unfortunately too well practiced
7:55 am
. people are getting good at it , which tells you a lot in and of itself, and even though they did, maybe as well as they could. there are still five people dead this morning. exactly right. we have five people to cease that. we believe that does include the gunman. at this 50.6. others transported to area hospitals, their condition the state that they're in that is still unknown. we are expecting to get another press update and update the press briefing from law enforcement. i'm also told that will also include the governor of kentucky and the mayor of louisville. they're going to be holding a briefing shortly again. these times are fluid, but we're anticipating another update coming in very soon. we're going to continue update you on this breaking news in just a moment. tomorrow at eight and a c. 3 60 exclusive after a brutatal cartl attack and kidnappining in mexi, surviving american hostages latavia washington and eric williams share the details of their captivity for the first time on cnn, anderson cooper 36
