Jim Tutt, a Frankfort native and experienced banking executive, was among those killed Monday in the mass shooting at Old National Bank in Louisville.

The 64-year-old had been a market executive at the bank since 2015, his LinkedIn page showed. Apart from the gunman, three others also were killed in the shooting.

Tutt was a University of Kentucky graduate and worked in banking for over 38 years.

A Facebook page which appeared to be connected with Tutt hasn’t shown much public-facing activity in recent years. However, posts from 2015 and 2016 showed Tutt spending time with grandchildren, cheering on UK basketball and going on a mission trip.

He had worked at Old National Bank since 2015. Prior to that he was the principal of VineBranch Enterprises, Ltd, a financial advising company serving commercial real estate developers, his LinkedIn page showed.

Since 2010, Tutt has also served on the board of the Oldham LaGrange Development Authority which managed the development of a 1,000-acre business park in LaGrange.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
