Shocking videos have surfaced on social media, show the chaos that unfolded on Saturday evening at a park in Louisville, Kentucky, where a man opened fire on demonstrators who had gathered to protest the death of Breonna Taylor, reported The Epoch Times.
At least one person was killed, and another injured at Jefferson Square Park around 9 pm, the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) said in a statement, adding that shortly after gunshots rang out in the park, sheriffs arrived on scene to conduct life-saving measures on a male who eventually died. A second shooting victim was found at the Hall of Justice near the park, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Just about 9 p.m., there were reports of shots fired in Jefferson Square Park. Calls then came in that Sheriff’s Department personnel were in the park performing life-saving measures on a male who eventually died at the scene.

Videos of the incident were posted on social media, several uploaded to YouTube, show a man opening fire at the perimeter of the park. He unloaded a clip into the demonstration area – as he fired the third round, it appears someone returned fire with a larger caliber weapon. At the end of the video, one of the shooting victims was bleeding on the ground. A man dressed in all black wielding an AR-15 or a variant of the rifle was seen in the final seconds of the clip – still, there’s no conclusive evidence of who returned the fire.
LMPD said an investigation into the shooting was launched immediately:
“We’re trying to gather as much information as possible to identify all who were involved in the incident.”
Mayor Greg Fischer tweeted: “I am deeply saddened by the violence that erupted in Jefferson Square Park tonight, where those who have been voicing their concerns have been gathered… “It is a tragedy that this area of peaceful protest is now a crime scene.”
The park has been the epicenter of demonstrations in Louisville for weeks after the police killings of Taylor and George Floyd.
“Praying for our city,” tweeted Kentucky state Rep. Charles Booker on Saturday night.
As the madness in the US climbs relentlessly to a peak , the world looks on as the self styled ‘exceptional nation’ begins to tear itself apart.
It is akin to a vaccination for other future colour revolutions abroad. Hypocrisy on full display. The Participants themselves will not understand the Irony…like Hotel ukraine snipers.
Your little countries are so fragile that a daily event in USA looks like the end of the world to you :)

There is a full scale civil war coming in the racist Americunt shithole, just watch as the fake election nears.

Why would somebody place music on this video?? lol But goddamn, somebody is trying to trigger an escalation to recent American domestic events. Left or right or destabilizer, they all have their motives.
True that, both use this to mobilize their voters, kind of violent electoral campaign however USA seen worse than this. At every 30 years or so, Blacks and Whites need to have the talk.
