One Rickey Readus who is local Louisville resident, reportedly told the Post that “employees ran out to find shelter at nearby businesses. He said one of those employees allegedly knew Sturgeon”.
Other employees who were inside the bank had to take cover in conference rooms as well as bathrooms.
This is because: “The bathrooms on our floor have keycode entry, so it was probably the safest place we could think of to hide,” employee Tammy Madigan told the Daily Beast. “So the six of us went into the men’s room, turned off all the sound on our phones, tried to be as quiet as we could.”
Chief Paul Humphrey said police had to clear the streets before confronting the gunman.
