What we know about the gunman who opened fire at a Louisville bank

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:47:18 GMT

A 25-year-old bank employee in Louisville, Kentucky, knew he was going to be fired and wrote a note to loved ones before heading to his job Monday morning and opening fire — killing five people and injuring eight others, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation.The gunman, identified as Connor Sturgeon, started his attack around 8:30 a.m. at Old National Bank in downtown, authorities said. He opened fire as some employees met for a morning meeting before the bank was open to the public. Rebecca Buchheit-Sims, a manager at the bank, told CNN she watched the meeting virtually and witnessed her coworkers being slain.Buchheit-Sims described Sturgeon as “extremely intelligent” and others who knew him told CNN they were shocked to see the violence, which launched a massive police response in the heart of one of America’s most populated cities. But prior writings by the gunman indicate he struggled to fit in before he joined the team at ...

Money pours into early days of Democrat Adam Frisch’s second campaign to unseat Rep. Lauren Boebert

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:47:18 GMT

In just over seven weeks since Adam Frisch announced his second campaign to unseat far-right incumbent U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, he’s boosted his war chest by well over seven figures, his campaign announced Thursday.To date, the former Aspen City councilman has raised $1.7 million, “shattering expectations,” Frisch said in a statement.That much money shows a clear break from the slow start his 2022 campaign had, largely due to the national attention he earned by almost unseating Boebert. During the first quarter of that campaign, Frisch had raised $232,575, federal data shows.The 2022 race for Boebert’s sprawling 3rd Congressional district seat was the most expensive House race in Colorado.  Combined, Boebert and Frisch raised $14.1 million, compared to the $5.1 million raised by the two nominees in the next-closest race for the newly created 8th Congressional district.The level of fundraising for Boebert and Frisch’s first race even put them on a national scale, making it one of th...

PSG hit by more injuries in final stretch of league season

PARIS (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain will be without defender Nordi Mukiele until the end of the season and without midfielder Renato Sanches for several weeks as the race for the French league title enters its final stretch.With eight matches left to play this season, PSG has a six-point lead over second-place Lens after losing five league games since the turn of the year. Marseille is eight points behind PSG in third place.PSG said Tuesday that Mukiele needs surgery because of a serious hamstring injury. “To minimize the risk of recurrence, the Paris Saint-Germain medical staff opted for an operation,” the club said, with the surgery taking place in Finland on Tuesday.Sanches, who joined PSG from Lille last summer, injured his right adductor muscle during Saturday’s 2-0 win at Nice. “He is expected to return to training in three to four weeks, depending on how the injury develops,” PSG said. PSG was already without several important injured players, including Neymar, Marco Verra...

US regroups for Women’s World Cup with Swanson sidelined

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:47:18 GMT

ST. LOUIS (AP) — With forward Mallory Swanson sidelined by a serious knee injury for the foreseeable future, the United States is facing some uncertainty as it prepares for the approaching Women’s World Cup. How will the United States replace one of its best players? “I think that in this past year, you’ve seen a lot of players go down with injury and we’ve been able to adapt,” forward Lynn Williams said. “I think that’s what the team’s going to continue to do, is continue to adapt. Mal’s absence is a huge hole to fill, but we have amazing players on this team and we’re going to figure out a way to do it.”Swanson tore the patella tendon in her left knee during an exhibition match against Ireland on Saturday, throwing her availability for soccer’s biggest tournament this summer into doubt since there is no official timeline for her return. She was the team’s leading scorer this year with seven goals and a six-game scoring streak, tied for fourth longest in tea...

Small business owners feel the credit crunch

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:47:18 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — When Nat West, owner of cider-making company Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider, decided to supplement his wholesale business by opening a taproom in a bustling neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, he thought getting financing would be a breeze. After all, he was only seeking $50,000, has been in business for 11 years, and takes in more than $1 million in annual revenue.In February and March, West reached out to three lenders he had previously gotten financing from, including one where he has an existing line of credit. To his surprise, he was rejected.“I feel like it’s really weird, it’s such a small amount of money for a business that has so much ongoing, sustained revenue and has been in the same community for a long time,” he said. West isn’t alone. Borrowing for small businesses was already constrained due to rising interest rates. Following the recent collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, some lenders – particularly the small and midsize banks that serve smal...
