Investigators are currently combing the video to determine what caused the shooting, which left 5 people dead and many more injured.

It begins with the AR-15-style AR-15 weapon, which is clearly visible. The official then says that a bank worker said hello to the gunman.

“You need to get out of here,” the shooter is heard saying to the woman on the livestream, which was taken down by parent company Meta.

The gunman then tries to shoot her in the back but can’t because the safety is on and the weapon still needs to be loaded, the official said. According to the official, after the shooter has loaded the weapon correctly and taken the safety off, he shot the worker in his back. The condition of the worker is unknown.

According to the official, the shooter continues on his rampage shooting at employees as they try and outrun him. Officials claim that the shooter did not enter other floors within the bank.

The official stated that after the shooter has finished firing, he sat down in the lobby, which overlooks East Main Street, and appeared to be waiting for the police.

The gunman waits about a minute and a half before police arrive – a swift response praised by local leaders – and engage the shooter in a gun battle, the official said.

The gunman was shot and killed.

The massacre “happened very quickly” in the Old National Bank conference room, said bank manager Rebecca Buchheit-Sims, who attended the staff meeting virtually and watched in horror as gunfire exploded on her computer screen.

“I witnessed people being murdered,” she told SME. “I don’t know how else to say that.”
