You  need to get out of here,” Sturgeon tells the woman in the video, then tries to shoot her in the back when she turns to flee.

His first attempt to gun down the woman fails because the safety on his rifle is still on and it is not yet loaded, according to the official speaking to CNN.

After Sturgeon removes the safety and loads the rifle, he takes aim at the woman who greeted him just moments earlier and strikes her in the back. Her condition is unknown.

According to the description of Sturgeon’s video, he initially struggled to use his assault rifle, which was not loaded and still had its safety on when he tried to shoot the first victim.

The 25-year-old bank employee then reportedly continues firing on his colleagues on the first floor as they frantically run for their lives.

After about a minute of shooting, Sturgeon takes a break from the carnage and goes to sit in the lobby, apparently to await a police response, according to the official describing the video.
