TWO police officers were shot in Louisville as violence erupted on Wednesday night in the wake of the decision not to prosecute officers over the death of Breonna Taylor.
Louisville Metro Police Department Chief Rob Schroeder told reporters late Wednesday night that one officer is alert and in stable condition, the other is in surgery. Police have also arrested one suspect.
"I am very concerned about the safety of our officers," Schroeder said.
"We have had two officers shot tonight and it's very serious. It's a dangerous condition.
"I think the safety of the officers and community we serve is utmost importance."
President Trump tweeted he had made a call with Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, who requested that the National Guard come to his state.
"Praying for the two police officers that were shot tonight in Louisville, Kentucky. The Federal Government stands behind you and is ready to help," Trump said.
"Spoke to Andy Beshear and we are prepared to work together, immediately upon request!"
