How do violent riots and gunfire help improve the lives of black people?
Louis Casiano & David Aaro report:
At least three people were shot, including two fatally, after gunfire rang out in Kenosha, Wis., overnight as protests against the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake on Sunday turned violent for a third-straight night Tuesday.
Police said they responded to reports of shots fired on 63rd Street and Sheridan Road and discovered multiple victims. Besides the two fatalities, a third gunshot victim was transported to the hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, according to authorities.
Police were looking for a man armed with a long gun, although its unclear how many shooters there were, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said one person was shot in the head and another was struck in the chest. He believed at least one person would be taken into custody based on video evidence they reviewed.
Social media posts compared the scene to a warzone. Protesters could be seen smashing car windows and clashing in the streets. Multiple videos were interrupted with the sound of gunshots.
The Daily Caller tweeted a video of a shooting and said one of its reporters was at the scene and helped carry the gunshot victim to a hospital that was across the street. The website said its reporter, Richie McGinnis, was unharmed. The shooting victim appeared to have been shot in the head, according to the video retweeted by the website.
A person could be heard in the video saying, "I just killed somebody."
