REUTERS/Carlos BarriaTwo police officers were shot and wounded late on Wednesday in Louisville, Kentucky, during protests of a grand jury ruling decried by civil rights activists as a miscarriage of justice in the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor in March. Last month media mogul Oprah Winfrey featured Taylor on the cover of her magazine calling for prosecution of the officers involved in her slaying. Two officers were shot and wounded, interim Louisville Metropolitan Police chief Robert Schroeder told reporters. Six bullets struck Taylor, he said, and ballistics investigators found only one shot, fired by Cosgrove, was fatal, Cameron said. He said the settlement was intended to “begin the healing process.”President Donald Trump said on Twitter that he was praying for the two officers shot on Wednesday and had spoken to Kentucky’s governor to offer federal help.
