Louisville, Ky. (BNC)– Seven people were shot, with two critically injured, in Louisville during protests over the shooting death of EMT Breonna Taylor has raised a call for peace from her mother.
Tamika Palmer, Breonna’s mother, joined the outcry for peace in a statement released earlier today.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear read Palmer’s statement and spoke with CNN saying the protest started peacefully but some people later “turned it into something that it should not have been.”
Of the reported injured none of them were officers according to a statement from the Louisville Metro Police Department.
Breonna Taylor, an award winning EMT, was gunned down in her apartment by three officers who were acting on a “no knock” warrant for a suspect in a drug investigation whom they assumed lived in the apartment.
