The shooting followed moments of civil unrest and arrests following the announcement of criminal indictments facing one of three officers involved in Taylor's death.
Two officers of the Louisville Metro Police Department have reportedly been shot as the city experiences protests following the criminal indictment of a police officer involved in the March 13 shooting death of Breonna Taylor, a Black 26-year-old medic in Louisville, Kentucky.
Fallon Glick of WDRB News reported in a tweet Wednesday evening that MetroSafe, the local emergency services hotline, confirmed that one officer was shot at Brook and Broadway. The intersection is just a few blocks away from where protesters had gathered outside of the Louis D. Brandeis Hall of Justice, a court building.
