Attorneys who filed a lawsuit in connection to last year's mass shooting at a bank in Louisville say the tragedy was foreseeable.

As we reported yesterday on Kentucky edition, survivors and family members of those killed in the old national Bank shooting have filed a lawsuit against the gun store that sold the weapon to the shooter, used to kill five and wound eight others.

The lawsuit alleges River City Firearms ignored obvious warning signs about Connor Sturgeon when he purchased the AR 15 style rifle.

The lawsuit states an eyewitness said Sturgeon appeared uneasy and avoided eye contact in the gun store and demonstrated a complete lack of knowledge about guns.

All warning signs for suspicious sales.

Today, at a press conference to discuss the lawsuit, attorney said the gun shop chose profit over community safety.

The tragedy that took place at National Bank is infinitely more horrific because it didn't need to happen.

Five people were killed, countless others were wounded and traumatized, all on the heels of an epidemic of gun violence.

Making this all very predictable and very preventable, this mass shooting just was not the act of one troubled man.

No, as our complaint alleges, the shooter was able to purchase an assault rifle because River City ignored obvious red flags that any reasonable employee in the store should have noticed.

They were trained to notice these red flags.

And in fact, a witness in the store did notice these red flags.

River City Firearms was derelict in its responsibilities to those at Old National Bank.

By deciding to profit from one, gun sale is more important than protecting their community.

In addition to the weapon, Sturgeon also purchased three additional 30 round magazines, a red dot site to increase accuracy and a vertical grip that allows greater control of the weapon.

Attorneys said they may sue the makers of the additional equipment.

River City Firearms has not yet commented on the lawsuit.
