2 Police Officers Shot in Louisville As Breonna Taylor Protests Intensify

This is a developing story. Please refresh for updates.

Two Louisville Metro Police Department officers were shot and taken to the hospital Wednesday night. 

It’s unclear whether the shootings were related to the protests that have broken out across the city after a grand jury’s decision to charge only one officer involved in the raid that killed Breonna Taylor — or if the officers were fired upon together. A source with the Louisville Metro Police Department confirmed both shootings to VICE News’ Roberto Ferdman and said that suspects had been detained, but the department did not immediately respond to a further request for comment on the circumstances.

The officers’ condition is not yet known. The FBI’s Louisville office said in a tweet around 9 p.m. Wednesday that its SWAT team had “responded to an LMPD officer being shot and will continue to assist in the investigation.” According to WAVE, a local NBC affiliate, the shooting happened at about 8:30 p.m.
