The family of a Louisville barbecue stand owner who was fatally shot by law enforcement who were breaking up a crowd during a night of protests has sued the local police department and the Kentucky National Guard for what they believe was his wrongful death, court papers show. The National Guard was in the city to help enforce a curfew amid protests spurred by the deaths of George Floyd in Minnesota and Louisville native Breonna Taylor. A spokesperson for the LMPD declined to comment, while a rep for the Kentucky National Guard did not respond to Fox News’ request. “So it’s clear, the fatal shot came from the National Guard,” Brown said. National Guard members “were returning fire, which is part of the engagement and what any law enforcement would do in that case,” Brown said.
