We have a new update on the mass shooting in Louisville, Kentucky. The shooter, now discovered to be 25-year-old Connor Sturgeon, opened fire in downtown Louisville at about 8:30 AM at the Old National Bank, where he worked. He showed up for work and opened fire while livestreaming his attack on Instagram, killing five people and injuring eight others. When the police department arrived, Sturgeon shot at them and they fired back, killing him. However, he also critically injured 26-year-old police rookie Nickolas Wilt, who had just graduated from the police academy, and he has now undergone brain surgery after being shot in the head. Wilt was very brave in the situation and ran towards the shooter with his fellow officers to take him down, which they eventually did. Sadly, this is just another of the events that are riling up the country to fight for new gun laws and restrictions, but it doesn't look like anyone is doing anything about it...
Also, we have some big news for our readers who are very involved in business! The big banking firm of Ernst & Young (also known as EY), which is one of the Big Four accounting giants, has announced that they are scrapping their plan to split the company in two. EY spent over $100 million in efforts to split the company into one unit for auditing and one unit for consulting due to the strict rules that the US has for auditing. However, this news sparked massive backlash, so EY has officially announced that they will not be going through with the split.
Lastly, over 100 people were killed in a massive air strike in Myanmar, just days before the Burmese New Year. This has raised international concerns over the strength of the country which is now in chaos after their military took over the country in a coup in February of 2021. Many countries are now calling on the new military government to "cease the horrific violence" and help rebuild their country that is now in disarray.
