The shooting took place Thursday as downtown workers were just beginning their day at the bank, located in downtown Cincinnati’s busy Fountain Square.

The gunman killed three people before responding Cincinnati police officers shot him dead.

Austin and one other person, Brian Sarver, were the only two other people injured. Sarver was released from University of Cincinnati Medical Center Monday night. Austin was released Tuesday.
