Louisville protest Breonna Taylor, not appear to be life-threatening
Louisville protest Breonna Taylor, not appear to be life-threatening.
Two police officers were shot Wednesday night during downtown protests that erupted after a grand jury’s decision not to charge the officer who shot and killed Breonna Taylor. Only one officer was charged with wanton endangerment.
About a half-hour before the city's 9 p.m. curfew, two Louisville Metro police officers were shot while responding to a report of a large crowd and gunfire, interim Police Chief Robert Schroeder said at a news conference.
They were taken to Louisville University Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. One officer was alert and stable, and the other was in surgery and stable, he said.
A suspect was in custody, Schroeder said.
The shooting happened at First Street and Broadway, an intersection several blocks from the center of protests — Jefferson Square Park.
