3 shot, 2 fatally, during Wisconsin protests

Police are investigating a shooting in Kenosha, which took place during the third night of unrest as protests continued after the shooting of Jacob Blake.

Kenosha: Two people died and one person was injured as shots were fired late on Tuesday in Kenosha during the third night of unrest in Wisconsin following the shooting of a Black man by police, Kenosha police said.

The shooting was reported at about 11:45 pm in an area where protests have taken place, Kenosha police Lt Joseph Nosalik said in a news release.

Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said one victim had been shot in the head and another in the chest late on Tuesday, just before midnight, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Beth didn't know where the other person was shot, but his or her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

The shooting was under investigation and no other information was released. The victims have not been identified.

Jacob Blake, who was shot multiple times by police in Wisconsin, is paralyzed, and it would "take a miracle" for him to walk again, his family's attorney said Tuesday, while calling for the officer who opened fire to be arrested and others involved to lose their jobs.
