A turbulent rally in Louisville quickly escalated into chaos, with several people injured by gunfire that rang out when protesters began to violently shake a police vehicle.


Shots were fired on Thursday evening just as hundreds of people were expressing outrage over the police killing of Breonna Taylor, a local woman, during a raid at her house in March.


The violent demonstration began shortly after the media published a 911 call from Taylor’s boyfriend, who reported the shooting. At the time, he was unaware the woman was shot by uniformed officers.


The shooting could be heard on multiple livestreams of the protest, which took place at the intersection of Jefferson and 6th Streets in Louisville.



The gunfire happened when protesters surrounded a police van and tried to flip it over.
