Lawsuits Filed Against Kentucky Gun Shop Over Sale of AR-15 Used in Bank Shooting

Families of victims in the 2023 Kentucky bank shooting have filed a lawsuit against River City Firearms, the gun shop that sold an AR-15 to the shooter, Connor Sturgeon. The lawsuit alleges that the shop should have been more suspicious of the sale and noticed red flags, as Sturgeon had little knowledge of firearms and appeared embarrassed during the purchase. The suit also claims that the shop has a legal duty to withhold a sale from a buyer who might be a danger to others. Sturgeon, who struggled with mental illness, used the AR-15 to kill five co-workers and injure several others before being fatally shot by a responding police officer.

The purchase attempt is one of the first indications that the shooter acknowledged his mental health issues. Questions surrounding the shooter's mental health and access to firearms have been central to the investigation. The shooter had legally purchased his weapons, passing background checks that evaluate mental fitness, but it is unclear if he had previously admitted to his mental health issues on other required forms.

From Gun Shop to Lifesaver: How a Veteran's Act of Kindness Transformed a Struggling Soldier's Life

Caleb Morse, a veteran and owner of Rustic Renegade gun shop in Lafayette, Louisiana, started storing firearms for struggling soldiers to prevent suicides. After a friend left his guns at the shop, Morse decided to hold onto them in case his friend returned. This led to other veterans dropping off their firearms, prompting Morse to set up a system for temporary storage. The initiative aligns with The Armory Project, which aims to create time and distance between individuals in crisis and loaded firearms. Off-site storage for firearms is seen as an effective way to prevent suicide, as firearms are the most lethal method. Morse's program has stored around 100 guns and he has installed outside storage lockers in his shop to help veterans in need.
