Investigators combing through Instagram video of the shooting saw firsthand the horror that unfolded Monday, watching the shooter fire his AR-15-style weapon inside the bank for about a minute and then appearing to wait a minute and a half before police arrive, according to a city official.
It’s unclear why the gunman stopped shooting.
The video shows that his attack on bank workers lasted about a minute, the official told CNN.
The live stream begins with the clearly visible AR-15-style weapon before a worker inside the bank says good morning to the gunman, according to the official.
“You need to get out of here,” the shooter is heard saying to the woman on the live stream, which was eventually taken down by Instagram’s parent company Meta.
According to that official, the gunman then tries to shoot her in the back but can’t because the safety is on and the weapon still needed to be loaded, the official said. Once the shooter loads the weapon properly and takes the safety off, he shoots the worker in the back, the official said. Her condition is not known.
The shooter then continues his rampage, firing at workers while they try to outrun the gunman, the official said.
The shooter does not go to other floors of the bank where workers were already present, the official said.
Once the shooter was done firing, he sat down in the lobby area that looks out onto East Main Street and appears to wait for police, the official said.
The gunman waited roughly a minute and a half before police arrived and engaged the shooter in the gun battle, according to the official.
