(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) The latest in a string of reportedly transgender-related mass shootings unfolded with deadly consequence in Kentucky on Monday, leaving at least five dead and multiple victims injured.
A former employee of Old National Bank in Louisville, Connor Sturgeon, was named in reports as the alleged shooter, who identified on social media using the transgender pronouns “he/him.” While listing pronouns doesn’t necessarily denote an active transgender lifestyle, it does lean heavily into far-leftist orthodoxy embracing a radical LGBT agenda.
“I’ve said it once I’ll say it again: It’s not the guns. It’s the pronoun extremists,” Trending Politics’ Collin Rugg wrote.
FWIW the mass shooter at the Louisville bank was a Democrat who used pronouns. Just two months ago he loved his coworkers. Today he committed suicide by killing them. pic.twitter.com/8Dh5F5w7wt

Trans-activists were quick to downplay any possible connection of the mass shooting to the transgender movement.
“Not only do trans people have to process constant senseless death due to mass shootings, we now have to deal deranged bigots trying to falsely pin it to the trans community,” wrote radical leftist attorney and Harvard Law School lecturer Alejandra Caraballo, who has previously demanded that activists harass the Supreme Court justices who voted to upend Roe.
Connor Sturgeon he/him was apparently the Louisville KY shooter. This doesn't mean Connor was trans. It only means he was a dumb lib. I'm guessing Biden's economy made life tough for Connor, who was apparently feeling mighty suicidal before he went on the rampage.

Bank employees related how they tried to hide inside a vault when they spotted Sturgeon enter the building carrying “an AR-15 style assault rifle,” the Daily Mail reported.
“In the end, four bankers were killed, along with the gunman,” according to the outlet. “It remains unclear whether the suspect died by officers’ gunfire or from a self-inflicted wound.”
At least nine other victims were injured in the shooting, including two police officers, and several remain hospitalized in critical condition. Kentucky Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear said that two of the victims were his friends.
“I have a very close friend that didn’t make it today. And I have another close friend who didn’t, either,” Beshear told reporters. “And one who’s at the hospital, that I hope is going to make it through.”
The shooter reportedly warned of suicidal thoughts and carrying out a mass shooting.

The Louisville shooting follows the slaughter at the hands of a transgender triggerman of six Christians at Nashville’s Convent School. Another transgender-spawned mass shooting was also uncovered in Colorado, before the deadly plot evolved.
