Louisville shooter Connor Sturgeon reportedly detailed reasons for rampage in manifesto<\/a><\/p>\n

The 25-year-old commercial developer wrote a 13-page missive that detailed his motives for gunning down his colleagues during their morning conference at the Old National Bank last week, a massacre he captured on a deranged Instagram live stream, the DailyMail reported.<\/p>\n

Sturgeon reportedly hoped to showcase how easy it was to buy a gun in Kentucky and wanted to highlight the mental health crisis in America.<\/p>\n

He also planned to end the slaughter by suicide \u2014 a wish that was granted when he was shot to death by police officers he brandished his firearm.<\/p>\n

Sturgeon\u2019s manifesto is now reportedly in the hands of the Louisville Police Department.<\/p>\n

The department would not confirm or deny any details of the alleged missive.<\/p>\n

The mass shooter legally purchased his AR-15 assault rifle from a local gun dealership just six days before the rampage.<\/p>\n

That gun is now slated to be auctioned off thanks to state law allowing guns seized by the police to go to auction, including those used in violent crimes.<\/p>\n

Sturgeon\u2019s family has also spoken about his \u201cmental health challenges,\u201d though did not specify what illnesses he was battling.<\/p>\n

Specialists are testing the killer\u2019s brain for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), or brain deterioration caused by repeated head trauma after it was revealed he suffered numerous sports-related concussions.<\/p>\n

A neighbor of Sturgeon\u2019s told The Post that the manifesto was found by Sturgeon\u2019s roommate Dallas Whelan \u2014 the same friend who left a voicemail from the killer saying he felt \u201csuicidal\u201d and planned to \u201ckill everyone at the bank.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe seemed like he was tripping, like he couldn\u2019t believe any of this,\u201d Michael McCoy, 45, said of Whelan reporting the missive to the cops.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said something about my neighbor and a manifesto. They called and reported it to the cops.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was over here up on the porch sweeping and there were detectives and him talking, and something about a manifesto and something about a letter he left \u2026 He specifically said a manifesto.\u201d<\/p>\n

A motive for the mass shooting has not yet been revealed, but Sturgeon had been told he was going to be fired from the bank shortly before the massacre.<\/p>\n

Killed in the rampage were Tommy Elliott, 63, a senior vice president; Jim Tutt, 64, a market executive; Joshua Barrick, 40, another senior vice president; Juliana Farmer, 45, a commercial loan specialist; and Deana Eckert, 57, an executive administrative officer.<\/p>\n

Rookie police officer Nickolas Wilt, 26, was listed in critical condition after undergoing surgery for a brain injury.<\/p>\n
