Over Biden, Florida and
Georgia
Steve, this is a first alert
breaking overnight. Two police
officers shot in Louisville
Kentucky as that city has erupt
dollars. As of about a little
before 900 last night,
Ainsley yeah Steve the
violence coming just hours after
the grand jury announced
decision in the Breonna Taylor
case,
Brian thats, where we had when
the verdict came down. The
attorney general explained what
the grand jury came up with
the unrest was almost right.
After the presidents press
conference
night fell and you started
seeing it
now seeing pictures in
Louisville,
not the only place, unrest
Chicago, three separate places
in three separate places in New
York City
and around New York City. As you
know, two officers were shot
and we do happen to see
situations in which U hauls have
been dropping off with signs and
in some cases, weapons for people
to protest.
Steve Welt, I will tell you
what
lets go to the streets of
Louisville right now.
Mark Meredith. Is there live
after a very busy and troubling
night for police officers
Mark
Steve Good Morning to you?
It was chaos on the streets of
Louisville. Last night.
You can see things have calmed
down significantly, but for those
two police officers,
the Good NEWS is they are in
stable condition.
Police are also releasing some
of that dramatic video last
night, around 830, when police
say they were investigating
gunfire about a half mile from
city hall
thats, when those two officers
were shot.
We know that one suspect is in
custody
its unclear whether or not
there is anyone else. Thats been
arrested overnight
again the Good NEWS. Those
officers are in stable
condition.
The president officering a tweet,
offering prayers and support,
saying praying for the two
police officers that were shot.
The federal government stands
behind you and is ready to help
spoke to the governor, and we are
prepared to work together
immediately upon request.
We are also hearing from former
vice President Joe Biden also on
Twitter, saying violence can
never be the answer.
Those who engage in it must be
held accountable,
Joe and I areaccountable Jill an
tonight in Louisville in our
prayers. This grand jury was
expected
police. They have been setting
up road blocks. Things like
that
on Wednesday, a grand jury chose
not to indict officers for
Breonna Taylors death. Back in
March,
one former officer was indicted
on wanton endangerment for
firing his gun into a nearby
apartment.
That indictment is not directly
connected to Breonna Taylors
death.
We heard from Kentuckys
attorney general. He hopes
residents who are outraged will
protest peacefully.
I hope we respond in a manner
that respects first amendment
rights, keeping Breonna Taylors
legacy in mind, but also in a way
that respects our Louisville.
Now we are hearing also from
the lawyer representing Breonna
Taylors Family, who says they
are outraged.
As I mentioned, the city of
Louisville, not taking any
chances,
look what they have put up here:
massive dump trucks, pretty much
guarding all of downtown,
preventing any cars coming out
here.
Nobody out here early this.
