Breanna Edwards’ family marks eight weeks since deadly US Bank shooting, describes ongoing grief and healing

Eight weeks after a shooting at a US Bank that killed Breanna Edwards and Brian Switzer, Edwards’ family says their work is not over. In an interview reported by LEX18 on June 26, the family described continuing grief and a healing process that can feel uneven, even as they try to move forward in daily life.

The shooting, which occurred at a US Bank location, resulted in the deaths of Edwards and Switzer. The family’s remarks focus on the human impact of the violence, emphasizing that the period after a mass-casualty event is often marked by sustained emotional strain, rather than a clear point at which recovery begins or ends.

Edwards’ family said their emotions are still “running the full spectrum” eight weeks after the incident. They described how feelings can return unexpectedly, and how the experience of loss can influence how people sleep, show up for work, and maintain routines, even when the immediate crisis is no longer unfolding in real time.

According to the report, the family continues to look for ways to cope and to rebuild after the deaths. While the family did not portray healing as a straight line, the account also reflected a desire to live with meaning after the tragedy, balancing remembrance with the realities of day-to-day life.

The report comes as Kentucky communities continue to grapple with the aftermath of gun violence, where families often face prolonged stress and logistical burdens. In many cases, victims’ relatives also navigate ongoing public attention, questions about what comes next in the criminal justice process, and the practical strain of arranging memorials and addressing the personal consequences of sudden death.

At this stage, the LEX18 report centers on the family’s perspective and their ongoing coping efforts. It does not, in the material provided, detail investigative or court developments, such as charges, a suspect’s status, or any scheduled proceedings, and those points were not added here to avoid speculation.

For residents following the case, the next concrete steps would typically involve official updates from law enforcement and court filings, along with any community support measures that may be announced by local leaders. In the meantime, the family’s account underscores that the period after a deadly shooting can remain emotionally active well beyond the first weeks, with lasting effects on surviving loved ones.
