The bank is elevated and surrounded by large glass doors which were reflective, meaning that the gunman – identified as Connor Sturgeon, 25, a former employee of the bank – could see the police officers, who had difficulty seeing him. However, three minutes after arriving at the scene, Officer Cory Galloway opened fire with a rifle and hit Sturgeon.

“I think we got him down. I think he’s down! Get the officer,” said Galloway in reference to another officer who was wounded.

Once Galloway was in the building, he found Sturgeon on the ground surrounded by shattered glass, with an AR-25 assault-style rifle on the floor, according to the Associated Press. He had purchased the weapon on April 4.
