There is a heavy police presence outside of the University of Louisville Hospital where an officer has reportedly been transported after being shot during what are now being declared as unlawful assemblies – otherwise known as riots.
The officer was shot in the downtown area of Brook and Broadway just before 8:30 p.m. local time, according to WDRB.
