LMPD released footage from Officer Nickolas Wilt and Officer Cory "CJ" Galloway, who were first to arrive on scene. While not shown on camera, Officer Wilt was struck by gunfire and is currently in critical condition at The University of Louisville Hospital. Officer Wilt was in training and had just graduated from the academy on March 31.

Officer Galloway, a training officer, advised Officer Wilt as they quickly approached the bank. Officer Galloway has been with the department since 2018.

LMPD also released bystander video from across the street.

"You can hear the tension. The response wasn't perfect but it was the response we needed. Once officers got on scene nobody else was shot. That's what were here for," said LMPD Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey.

LMPD plans to release individual footage on its Twitter page, which can be viewed here.
