Videos posted online showed a man standing on the edge of Jefferson Square Park firing more than a dozen shots that sent protesters scrambling for shelter among tents and park benches. “Detectives are trying to gather as much information as possible in order to identify all who were involved in the incident,” the police said. Taylor and her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, had been in bed when officers entered after midnight. During the encounter, Walker fired his gun, hitting an officer in the leg, and the police opened fire, hitting Taylor at least eight times. The warrant was issued as part of a drug investigation, but no drugs were found in the apartment.
