Two police officers have been shot in Louisville, Ky., amid riots following the announcement of an indictment in the shooting of Breonna Taylor.
Louisville police confirmed that the officers were shot and were taken to a local hospital, but did not immediately provide details of their conditions.
Demonstrations devolved into riots in the city on Wednesday night after a grand jury charged just one of the officers involved in the shooting of Taylor in a botched drug bust. Rioters clashed with police throughout Louisville, burning trash cans and calling to defund the city police department.
Demonstrations and riots broke out in other cities including New York and Washington, D.C. New York saw large crowds chanting "no justice, no peace!" outside Barclays Center in Brooklyn, while black-clad demonstrators in Washington passed through the Dupont Circle area.
