Louisville shooting vigil set for Wednesday at Muhammad Ali Center

While people are processing the mass shooting of Monday morning, the city is organizing a vigil Wednesday evening to honor the five people killed inside Old National Bank.

The vigil will be at 5 p.m. inside the Muhammad Ali Center, 144 N. Sixth St., and will be open to the public. The people killed were Josh Barrick, Tommy Elliott, Jim Tutt, Juliana Farmer and Deana Eckert.

"This vigil will be to acknowledge the wounds, physical and emotional that gun violence leaves behind," Mayor Craig Greenberg said during a Tuesday press conference. "It will be a(n) interfaith opportunity for our entire community to come together to grieve, heal, to begin to move forward."

Greenberg said the Office for Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods will have counselors at churches with Wednesday evening worships.

Connor Sturgeon, who is now dead, killed five people and injured eight others Monday morning at the downtown bank. Two of the injured people were officers, one of them, Nickolas Wilt, 26, was treated for a gunshot wound in the head.

Some churches already held vigils in honor of the victims on Monday evening and more are expected. Christ Church Cathedral, 421 S 2nd St., will have a prayer vigil on Tuesday at 6 p.m. and is open to the public.
