Five people are dead and six others, including a police officer, are injured following a mass shooting at a bank in Louisville, Kentucky, on Monday morning, according to police.

The gunman opened fire in the Old National Bank's first-floor conference room at about 8:30 a.m. local time, according to officials.

Eyewitnesses said the shooter appeared to have been armed with a long gun.

"He just started shooting," Troy Haste told ABC Louisville affiliate WHAS. "Whoever was next to me got shot. Blood is on me from it."
