A 25-year-old who killed five people at a bank in downtown Louisville earlier this month left behind writings describing his motivations ahead of the mass shooting, according to a report.

The writings, which have not been viewed by The Independent, reportedly describe the gunman intending to make a statement about mental health issues and gun access in the US, as well as expressing suicidal thoughts, according to The Daily Mail.
