A gunman opened fire at a bank in Louisville yesterday morning, leaving at least five dead and nine others wounded, police said. The victims were identified as Tommy Elliott, 63; Juliana Farmer, 45; Jim Tutt, 64; Josh Barrick, 40; and Deana Eckert, 57. The gunman was identified as Connor Sturgeon, 25, who police said was an employee of Old National Bank and livestreamed part of the attack. The gunman was shot and killed by police after exchanging gunfire, authorities said. Among the wounded was a 26-year-old officer who had just graduated from the police academy on March 31. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said Elliott, an executive at the bank, was a friend and mentor whom he spoke with regularly. Here's the latest. |

A grand jury in Virginia indicted Deja Taylor yesterday on charges of felony child neglect and a misdemeanor count of recklessly leaving a loaded firearm so as to endanger a child after her 6-year-old son shot his teacher with a 9 mm handgun in January. The indictment came a month after the Newport News prosecutor said he would not bring charges against the child. Teacher Abigail Zwerner, who was shot in the chest and left hand, filed a $40 million lawsuit last week alleging administrators at Richneck Elementary School disregarded multiple warnings from staff and students who believed the boy had a gun and posed an imminent threat on the day of the shooting. |

Crooks and scammers are using free public charging stations to infect devices with malware or software that can give hackers access to your phone or tablet, the FBI said. "Avoid using free charging stations in airports, hotels or shopping centers," a tweet from the FBI's Denver field office said. "Bad actors have figured out ways to use public USB ports to introduce malware and monitoring software onto devices. Carry your own charger and USB cord and use an electrical outlet instead." The malware scheme is known as "juice jacking," and compromised USB cables can be hijacked by software that can steal usernames and passwords, the FCC said. Read more about the scam. |

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
Karen Vladeck became her daughter's hero by admitting she's an "Anti-Hero." Vladeck wrote an email to her daughter's first-grade teacher to say she would be missing school for an upcoming Taylor Swift concert, using the subject line "It's Me, Hi, I'm the Problem, It's Me." The mom from Texas and dedicated Swiftie then incorporated various song titles into her note. "Anyway, I hope this doesn't leave any Bad Blood between you and Maddie and that things for the rest of the year are not Treacherous," one part reads. The teacher, who has two teen daughters, wrote back that she loved it. This will the first concert for Vladeck's daughter, Maddie. "I've been listening to Taylor Swift since 'Tim McGraw' came out, and the fact that she's still here and is still so incredibly relevant — even more so than when she was 18 — that's just an amazing message for little girls to see," Vladeck told us. See the full note here. |
