be out there, both pentagon and justice department will try and stop this from happening again. there is a big fear. >> the latest from washington. as always, thank you staying in the united states, these five people are dead after a shooting at a bank in louisville, kentucky. the shooter, a former employee reportedly killed four people and wounded nine others before being fatally shot himself. two police officers are among the wounded. >> the aftermath of another mass shooting. police say they arrived as gunshots were still being fired inside the old national bank. a short while later, the shooter was dead. >> we believe this is a lone gunman that did have a connection to the bank. we're trying to establish the
