Kenosha Police say two people were shot and killed during a third night of protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
A third was injured.
The Kenosha County Sheriff told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that one person was shot in the head, another in the chest.
It's not clear what led to the shooting.
Blake, the Black man shot multiple times by police in Wisconsin, is paralyzed, and it would “take a miracle” for him to walk again, his family’s attorney said Tuesday, while calling for the officer who opened fire to be arrested and others involved to lose their jobs.
The shooting of Blake on Sunday in Kenosha — apparently in the back while three of his children looked on — was captured on cellphone video and ignited new protests over racial injustice in several cities, coming just three months after the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police touched off a wider reckoning on race.
Some demonstrations devolved into unrest, including for a third night in Kenosha, where multiple gunshots could be heard in social media posts from at least one neighborhood where residents and people carrying long guns and other weapons remained in the streets hours after they city’s 8 p.m. curfew. Kenosha Police were investigating after videos appeared to show at least two people with gunshot wounds (WARNING: Video is graphic and disturbing), the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
