Old National Bank shooting case allowed to move forward
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT)- A Kentucky judge allows a lawsuit to go forward, which would hold several gun businesses responsible for the 2023 Old National Bank mass shooting that occurred in Louisville. Morganfield Job Corps Center confirmed to close June 30 Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Mitch Perry recently ruled that the case could continue, despite a federal law that gives gun manufacturers and dealers immunity from crimes committed with their products. The families of several shooting victims are suing a gun seller, distributor, and firearm accessories manufacturer in connection to the shooting in downtown Louisville. The lawsuit alleges that the gun dealer, River City Firearms, was negligent and failed to catch warning signs given by the shooter, Connor Sturgeon, before selling him an AR-15, which he would later use to kill five people at the branch. Distributor RSR Group and firearm accessory company Magpul are also part of the lawsuit. River City Firearms filed to have the case dismissed, saying the sales were lawful and done by the book.

Families of victims in mass shooting at Louisville bank may sue gun seller, judge rules

(Kentucky Lantern photo by Abbey Cutrer) Families of victims of a mass shooting at a Louisville bank in 2023 may proceed with their lawsuit against a firearms dealer who sold the shooter a semi-automatic rifle and accessories, a judge in Louisville has ruled. Jefferson Circuit Judge Mitch Perry in a Monday order denied attempts by defendants to dismiss the case, writing that the case arose 'from one of the worst acts of mass violence this community has ever experienced.' 'The court is required to take the allegations in the complaint as true and view the record in the light most favorable to the plaintiffs. That is what this court has done here,' Perry wrote in his order. 'As such, the litigation may continue in the ordinary course.' Six people died, including the shooter, and eight people were injured in April 2023 at Old National Bank in downtown Louisville. The shooter was an employee of the bank. One of the eight people injured, Louisville police officer Nickolas Wilt, was shot in the head while responding to the shooting. Wilt left a rehabilitation facility months later as he was recovering from his injury. Families of the victims brought a lawsuit in early 2024 against River City Firearms, the gun store that sold the shooter an AR-15, and against companies that manufactured accessories sold to the shooter at the store which included large-capacity magazines, a red-dot sight and a vertical grip for the rifle. Plaintiffs alleged employees of the firearms store should have noticed suspicious and erratic behavior of the shooter, who bought the weapon days before the shooting. The plaintiffs further alleged the manufacturers of the firearm accessories incentivize gun stores to upsell customers in a way 'that places profits over safety.' Defendants had argued the lawsuit should have been dismissed because a federal law bars the plaintiffs claims from being heard. Congress has enacted the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which protects firearms manufacturers from being held liable for crimes committed with their products. Perry disagreed with those arguments in his order. 'The plaintiffs here have carefully crafted their complaint to avoid the protections of the PLCAA,' Perry wrote. Requests for comment sent to counsel representing plaintiffs and counsel representing RSR Group, one of the defendants, was not immediately returned Tuesday afternoon.

Fever President Makes Big Announcement Before New WNBA Season
The Indiana Fever finished the 2024 regular season with a .500 record of 20-20, securing their first playoff berth since 2016 and marking their highest win total in nine years. Head coach Christie Sides led the team to third place in the Eastern Conference but was relieved of her duties after the season, closing her tenure at 33-47 overall. Advertisement The Fever enter 2025 under new head coach Stephanie White, who returns to Indianapolis after coaching the franchise in 2015-16. During the off-season, they added veterans DeWanna Bonner (six-time All-Star) and Natasha Howard (three-time champion) to support Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell. While the team prepares for its season opener on Saturday, Fever President Kelly Krauskopf announced that Old National Bank has become the team's official bank partner starting with the 2025 campaign, per Pacers Sports & Entertainment. Under the multi-year agreement, Old National Bank branding will appear across games broadcast on the Old National Bank Radio Network (93.5/107.5 The Fan). Advertisement The organizations will also co-host community initiatives, including a Fan Appreciation Night presented by Old National Bank on September 9 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. On the court, the Fever are tied for second-best odds to win the Finals, thanks in large part to Clark, the 2024 Kia WNBA Rookie of the Year. Clark led all rookies (and the entire league) in assists with 8.4 per game, while averaging 19.2 points and 5.7 rebounds over 40 games. Beyond the court, the "Caitlin Clark effect" fueled record TV ratings and drew franchise-high average attendance records. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Becker-Imagn Images As the Fever prepare to tip off on Saturday against the Chicago Sky, they carry the momentum of a record-setting rookie, a revamped roster, and renewed community partnerships. Advertisement Fans, media, and analysts alike will be watching to see whether this combination can propel Indiana from playoff returnees to genuine title contenders in 2025.
