Greenberg, a Democrat, decried state law which allows for the weapon used by the Louisville shooter to be auctioned to the public.

Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg has slammed Kentucky gun laws over the shooting at Old National Bank on Monday that left five people, plus the gunman, dead.

—an AR-15-style rifle he had legally purchased 6 days before the rampage—to be"one day" auctioned off to the public and put back on the streets."To those in the national media that are joining us here today, this may be even more shocking than it is to those of us locally who know this and are dealing with this," he added.

Greenberg focused on how such weapons are subsequently sold. According to Kentucky state law, firearms confiscated by local police are returned to state police and then made available to the public at auction. This includes guns used in homicides and mass shootings.
