Today marks one year since a deadly mass shooting at the old National Bank in downtown Louisville.

Five people were killed.

Tommy Elliott, Jim Tete, Josh Barrick, Julianna Farmer and Deanna Eckert.

Eight others were injured, including Louisville Metro Police officer Nick Wilt, who survived being shot in the head while responding to the tragedy.

Today in Louisville, a special ceremony was held in memory of the victims.

Mayor Craig Greenberg used the moment to express his frustration with continued acts of gun violence, and he called on anyone who was listening to help.

I, too, am frustrated by the limits on what we can do as a city to address this problem.

So let's keep working together and with anyone else who will join us to get more help.

More help from our friends in Congress.

More help from our friends in our state legislature.

And that help can come in many different forms.

There are many different strategies that have been proven to work.

So let's try something because we all want the same thing.

We all want to prevent need for ceremonies like this in the future.

And we all want to spare as many families as possible the pain that these five families who are mourning today feel and far too many others around our city and our state.

These families.

Governor Bashir, who was friends with one of the victims, also spoke during today's ceremony.

His comments and more from the service tomorrow on Kentucky edition.

All old national bank locations in Louisville were closed because of today's shooting anniversary and all locations outside Louisville closed early.

Signs outside the old National Bank in Lexington honored those killed in last year's bank shooting.

Employees at other Brant Bank branches like the one in Evansville, Indiana, took part in a walk to remember.

Old National Bank will also hold blood drives all week in cooperation with the Red Cross.
