A local Kentucky news crew was targeted and shot with “pepper bullets” Friday night by riot police while they attempted to get footage of the demonstrations in Louisville as protests continued for the third night straight in the United States following Monday’s police custody death of George Floyd.
Kaitlin Rust, a reporter with local Louisville news agency WAVE 3 News, was together with her photojournalist around 10 p.m. to broadcast the demonstration over the death of Breonna Taylor—a black woman who was shot and killed by police in her own home on March 13.
