Louisville Police Confirm One Officer Has Been Shot on Night of Breonna Taylor Protests

A Kentucky grand jury brought no charges against Louisville police for the killing of Breonna Taylor during a drug raid gone wrong, with prosecutors saying Wednesday that two officers who fired their weapons at the Black woman were justified in using force to protect themselves after they faced gunfire. . .

Police in Louisville, Kentucky, said Wednesday night that an officer had been shot. It’s not clear if it happened during the protests and no other details were immediately released.

Scuffles have broken out between police and protesters, and some were arrested. Officers in riot gear fired flash bangs and a few small fires burned in a square that’s been at the center of protests, but it had largely cleared out ahead of a nighttime curfew and demonstrators marched through other parts of downtown Louisville. Dozens of police cars blocked the city’s major thoroughfare. (Read more from “Louisville Police Confirm One Officer Has Been Shot on Night of Breonna Taylor Protests” HERE)
