Heavy police and military presence in riot gear and army vehicles could be seen in Louisville on Wednesday night and early Thursday morning on-site where two police officers were shot amid a Black Lives Matter rally. The demonstration took place around Jefferson Square Park area after no officers involved in Breonna Taylor’s death were charged for homicide.

The two officers both sustained non-lethal injuries. Dozens of protesters alongside a suspected shooter were arrested in the hours following the incident.

In Taylor's case, Officer Brett Hankison was indicted on three counts of wanton endangerment. Two other officers involved in the incident, Myles Cosgrove and Jonathan Mattingly, have not been charged.

Taylor was killed while sleeping in her bed in on March 13, after police officers broke into her apartment under a 'no-knock warrant' suspecting her to be part of a drug ring.

The woman was eventually shot eight times as the officers exchanged gunshots with her boyfriend.
