Armed Man Opens Fire On Peaceful Breonna Taylor Protesters In Louisville
Video Of ‘White Supremacist’ Shooting Blacks At Louisville Breonna Taylor Protest
An African American man was fatally shot at a park in Louisville, Kentucky, where peaceful protesters were demanding justice for the killing of Breonna Taylor, who was shot in her home multiple times by police.
And an alleged video from the protest was leaked online showing the shooting of the man with the perpetrator describing himself as a “white supremacist.”
The shooting happened Saturday night at Jefferson Square Park, the Louisville Metro Police Department said. A second shooting victim found at the Hall of Justice near the park was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Police did not release details on the person’s gender, but online reports say that both victims were African American.
“I am deeply saddened by the violence that erupted in Jefferson Square Park tonight, where those who have been voicing their concerns have been gathered,” Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said in a statement. “It is a tragedy that this area of peaceful protest is now a crime scene.”
Police are currently investigating the shooting, but no one has been arrested. In a series of tweets, Louisville police said they received calls around 9 p.m. that gunshots had been fired near Jefferson Square Park.
Police then received calls that members of the sheriff’s department were performing life-saving measures on a man who later died at the scene. Here is the graphic video :
