TL;DR Summary

The gun used in the Old National Bank shooting in Louisville will be sold at auction as Kentucky law prevents law enforcement from destroying confiscated firearms, even when they're used in crimes. The Kentucky State Police will conduct the auction and keep 20% of the sale proceeds for departmental use, while the rest will be given to the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security. The mayor reported that 40 people in the city have died due to gun violence this year, including the five people who were killed in the shooting. Police released bodycam footage of the shooting, and a motive remains unknown.
