2:29Now PlayingAuthorities pleaded for calm while activists vowed to fight on Thursday in Kentucky's largest city, where a gunman wounded two police officers during anguished protests following the decision not to charge officers for killing Breonna Taylor.
Outrage over a grand jury's failure to bring homicide charges against the officers who burst into the Black woman's apartment six months ago set off a new round of demonstrations Wednesday in several American cities. The state attorney general said the investigation showed officers were acting in self-defense when they responded to gunfire from Taylor's boyfriend.
Though protests in Louisville began peacefully, officers declared an unlawful assembly after they said fires were set in garbage cans, several vehicles were damaged and stores were broken into. A 26-year-old man was arrested and charged with firing multiple gunshots at police and wounding two officers.
The Louisville police department was livestreaming their response on Facebook when at least one of the officers was shot.
It showed officers reaction, first noting the shots fired, then noticing their injured colleague nearby and then trying to take cover.
Interim Police Chief Robert Schroeder said the two officers are "doing well and will survive their injuries." Maj. Aubrey Gregory was shot in the hip and was treated and released from the hospital. Officer Robinson Desrouches was shot in the abdomen and underwent surgery.
