Two Louisville police officers were shot amid demonstrations Wednesday night, hours after a grand jury revealed it had cleared the two officers who shot Taylor and indicted a third who fired into her neighbors’ apartment. Larynzo Johnson has been charged with two counts of assault and 14 counts of wanton endangerment in connection with the shooting, Schroeder said. Police made 127 arrests across the city, Schroeder said, and he described 16 incidents of looting in the region. Daniel Cameron, the state's attorney general, said the two officers who shot Taylor were justified in using force because her boyfriend had fired a shot at them first, hitting one of them. Police were serving the warrant shortly after midnight on March 13 and Kenneth Walker, Taylor's boyfriend, said he feared intruders were entering the home.
