LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The man who fatally shot five coworkers at a Louisville bank in April wrote in his journal that he wasn’t sure if his mental health struggles would preclude him from purchasing a gun and then later, after acquiring one just days before carrying out the mass shooting, remarked on how easy the transaction turned out to be.

The journal writings by Connor Sturgeon were contained in a 64-page report released Tuesday by Louisville police, where authorities say they have now closed the investigation into the actions of the 25-year-old who also died that day in an exchange of gunfire with authorities.

Sturgeon wrote that it “was so easy” to purchase the assault rifle, a Radical Firearms RF-15, from a Louisville gun store, according to the police file. He bought the rifle, 120 rounds and four magazine cartridges for $700 six days before the shooting, and the process took about 45 minutes, he said.

He killed those people to demonstrate how serious he was about gun control. He anticipated the corpses would be useful to the zealots in that movement, who are always seeking high ground from which to shout their rhetoric.

Oh, a false flag operation? Where did you get that from?
Cause he told his room-mate he was "going to shoot up Old National".

No, it wasn't a "false flag". He was pretty clear about his political motive.

"I have decided to make an impact. These people did not deserve to die, but because I was depressed and able to buy (guns?), they are gone. Perhaps this is the impact for change -- upper class white people dying."


From the same source:

In the case summary, investigators say Sturgeon had no other contact with anyone about the shooting leading up to it. They said he acted alone and executed his plan within a week.

Well, he told his room-mate what he intended to do. The roomie told his mother, she called 911 but he was at the bank by them.
