An officer who was critically hurt responding to a mass shooting downtown Louisville had only been on the job for days.
Nickolas Wilt, 26, is in critical condition after a gunman opened fire Monday morning inside a bank in Louisville.
Police said Wilt was one of two officers who were hurt responding to the shooting. Wilt was shot in the head and had to get emergency brain surgery.
In a 3 p.m. update on Monday, police said his condition was stable at the University of Louisville Hospital.
"[He] ran towards the gunfire today to save lives," Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) tweeted.
LMPD said he graduated from the academy just 10 days ago on March 31.
Both Mayor Craig Greenberg and interim LMPD Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel were there for his swearing-in ceremony.
In addition to being an officer, Wilt has worked for La Grange Fire and Rescue and Oldham County EMS.
The LMPD Foundation said it will set up a fund for him and his family.
Wilt was a graduate of Oldham County High School in 2016.
Police said that of the eight people injured, at least three are officers.
In all, five people died. At least two were critically injured, three have less severe injuries and three have already been treated and released.
