Washington (Kavian Press) -Protesters poured on the streets of Kenosha Wisconsin for the third straight night over the shooting of Jacob Blake the Black man shot six times by police officers.
During the third night protest two people were killed and a third one was seriously injured. The person injured was taken to the hospital with “serious, but non-life threatening injuries,” police said.
The protests come days after police shot Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, multiple times as he tried to enter an SUV with his children in the back.
Two Kenosha officers have been placed on administrative leave. The shooting is being investigated by the Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley’s office and the Wisconsin Justice Department’s division of criminal investigation, which plans to present a report to Graveley’s office within 30 days, it said.
Wisconsin’s governor declared a state of emergency Tuesday after cars and buildings were set ablaze and called in 250 members of the National Guard to assist. Blake remains in the hospital but his family says he is paralyzed from the waist down
