An Omaha bar owner, who was a two-tour veteran and had been cleared by Douglas County District Attorney Don Kleine of charges after fatally shooting a rioter outside of his bar in May, was found dead by suicide on Sunday night, less than a week after a grand jury indicted him.
Jake Gardner, 38, who shot 22-year-old James Scurlock after he was apparently protesting the death of George Floyd outside his bar, acted in self-defense, according to Kleine.
However, following unrest largely because of the races of Scurlock, who is black, and Gardner, who is white, the DA appointed special prosecutor Fred Franklin and a grand jury, hoping &#8220;it would restore public faith in the justice system,&#8221; NPR <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-protests-for-racial-justice/2020/09/16/913812914/omaha-grand-jury-indicts-bar-owner-over-fatal-shooting-of-black-protester-in-may">reported</a>.
Franklin, who said he initially thought Gardner acted in <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-protests-for-racial-justice/2020/09/16/913812914/omaha-grand-jury-indicts-bar-owner-over-fatal-shooting-of-black-protester-in-may">self-defense</a>, agreed with the grand jury and announced Wednesday that the bar owner was indicted on charges of manslaughter, attempted first-degree assault, terroristic threats, and use of a firearm in connection with a felony.
Less than a week later, on Sunday night, it was confirmed that Gardner had committed suicide.
Gardner’s attorneys, Stu Dornan and Tom Monaghan, <a href="https://omaha.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/jake-gardner-has-killed-himself-in-oregon-authorities-say/article_67d6cd0c-049a-5e15-9bf7-d812e212b5cb.html">according</a> to the Omaha World-Herald, said their client&#8217;s suicide stemmed from &#8220;a cocktail of behavioral health problems stemming from head trauma he experienced during military service, the belief that people were out to kill him, and an &#8216;incessant rush to judgment&#8217; by social media jockeys.&#8221;
They also disclosed that Gardner was receiving &#8220;death threats.&#8221;
&#8220;Bottom line, Dornan and Monaghan said, Gardner had lost his bars (a landlord ended his lease after the shooting), his home, his livelihood,&#8221; the report said. &#8220;And he was about to lose his freedom. Add in behavioral health concerns, Dornan said, and suicide was not a surprise, even though his attorneys fully expected him to turn himself in Sunday night.&#8221;
<div class="asset-breakout-container ">
“I had the opportunity to talk with Mr. Gardner before his return, and he was really shook up,” said Dornan. “The grand jury indictment was a shock to him, it was a shock to us, it was a shock to many people.”
</div>
Franklin apparently changed his mind on the Gardner case due to new evidence regarding Gardner&#8217;s apparent state of mind before the incident.
The notion that Gardner acted in self-defense is undermined by &#8220;evidence [that] comes primarily from Jake Gardner himself,&#8221; the special prosecutor said, noting of text messages and Facebook messages.
As highlighted by the Omaha World-Herald, Omaha police had seized Gardner’s phone.
Franklin also noted that the grand jury &#8220;relied on surveillance tapes from inside Gardner’s bar.&#8221;
However, Omaha World-Herald reports, &#8220;that surveillance video has no audio, leaving investigators at a loss as to what Franklin meant.&#8221;
As noted by NPR last week, the struggle between Scurlock and Gardner from May 30, according to eyewitness video that circulated on social media, &#8220;shows Gardner being <a href="https://www.kptv.com/no-charges-for-business-owner-who-claimed-self-defense-in-fatal-shooting-of-protester/article_b7cddcbb-403c-5a15-9258-d66316f4871a.html">pinned down</a> on the ground apparently by Scurlock at one point during their altercation.&#8221;
Attorneys for Gardner said the altercation started when another person &#8220;had knocked David Gardner off his feet and onto his back.&#8221; Omaha World-Herald outlines the incident further:
<blockquote>From there, David Gardner, holding a knife, pushed Scurlock, who was unarmed. Scurlock pushed a bystander next to Jake Gardner. Walking backward, Jake Gardner lifted his shirt to show a gun, saying “Don’t (expletive) with me.”
He pulled the gun and briefly held it down by his side, then returned it to his waistband. At that point, a woman tackled Jake Gardner from behind, knocking him on his back. Randall hovered within inches of the two as they struggled. Jake Gardner fired what he called two warning shots — the grand jury found that one of the shots was an attempt to assault Randall. Both the woman and Randall ran away. Three seconds later, Scurlock jumped on Gardner’s back, the beginning of the 18-second struggle.
Gardner “didn’t realize he was going to get jumped by three people in the street,” Monaghan said.</blockquote>

United States Postal Service workers who deliver mail on Chicago&#8217;s south and west sides are threatening to halt service to select neighborhoods after a mail carrier was shot while on the job in the city&#8217;s Burnside neighborhood.
&#8220;The 24-year-old woman, who works as a United States Postal Service mail carrier, was shot at 91st Street and Ellis Avenue just after 11:35 a.m. while on the job,&#8221; <a href="https://abc7chicago.com/%2450k-reward-offered-in-chicago-postal-worker-shooting/6419481/">ABC 7 Chicago reported</a> earlier in September. &#8220;Chicago Fire Department officials said she was critically hurt after being shot multiple times.&#8221;
The mail carrier was not the shooting&#8217;s intended target, Chicago police officials said, but her southside route put her in the middle of a neighborhood wracked by gun violence. She is, ABC 7 added, the second mail carrier wounded by gunfire while walking her route: &#8220;In March, another Chicago letter carrier was shot while delivering mail in Brighton Park. He was caught in gang crossfire and told ABC7 he feels fortunate he was not more seriously injured from a shot to the back of his head.&#8221;
Another postal worker was reportedly shot with a paintball in the same Burnside neighborhood.
The United States Postal Service is offering a $50,000 reward for information on the shooting that leads to an arrest and reminded Chicago residents, in the same notice, that any attack on a mail carrier is a federal offense. The mail carrier, at least report, was still in serious condition at a local hospital.
On Friday, Chicago&#8217;s postal workers joined in a protest demanding that the city put a stop to the gun violence &#8212; and if they do not, Chicago&#8217;s postal workers may stop delivering mail to affected neighborhoods, <a href="https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/09/17/chicago-mail-carriers-threaten-to-stop-delivering-in-some-neighborhoods-following-shooting/">per CBS 2 Chicago</a>.
&#8220;Chicago postal workers, saying it is too dangerous to deliver the mail, are threatening to stop delivering in some neighborhoods one week after a mail carrier was shot on her route,&#8221; the outlet reported. &#8220;Postal workers and community organizers joined together for a prayer vigil Thursday near the scene of last week’s shooting.&#8221;
&#8220;Mack Julion with National Association of Letter Carriers, Branch 11 said letter carriers should not walk their route if they feel unsafe,&#8221; WBBM added.
&#8220;Any letter carrier who does not feel safe in any one of these communities then they are not to deliver mail and customers have to pick up their mail,&#8221; Julion said. &#8220;We are not going to have another situation where the letter carrier is shot down.&#8221;
Chicago&#8217;s homicide rate has dropped since early August when federal officials, working with Operation Legend &#8212; a program designed to pair federal resources with crime-control units in 14 major cities &#8212; began working with Chicago&#8217;s Police Department, but violence continues at a rate much higher than in previous years.
This weekend, at least 30 people have been shot and 2 killed in a series of incidents on the city&#8217;s south and west sides, <a href="https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-shootings-weekend-in-this/6461801/">Chicago&#8217;s ABC 7</a> reported Sunday. Those incidents, <a href="https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/09/19/4-men-injured-in-west-pullman-shooting/">CBS 2 Chicago adds</a>, include two &#8220;mass shootings&#8221; that took place within an hour of each other in the city&#8217;s West Pullman neighborhood. Four men were injured in those shootings.

At least two young people are dead and 14 wounded in a mass shooting that took place early Saturday at a party in Rochester, New York, an upstate city that has been in turmoil since footage emerged this month of a police encounter with Daniel Prude in March.
According to the <a href="https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2020/09/19/rochester-mass-shooting-near-public-market/5836840002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Democrat &amp; Chronicle</a>, police were called around 12:25 a.m. to what one bystander called &#8220;a very chaotic scene&#8221; in the backyard of a residence in the Marketview Heights neighborhood. Shots rang out at the party where about 100 people were in attendance, and both of the victims were in their teens or early 20s.
Jasmin Lopez and John Santiago, who live a block away from where the shooting occurred, were awakened by gunshots and later found two teenagers hiding in their driveway. “You could see the fear in his eyes,&#8221; Santiago said. &#8220;He was scared.” The teens later drove away.
&#8220;There were kids throwing up, hiding between bushes, bleeding,&#8221; Lopez further described the scene. She also alleged that her first two calls to 911 were not answered.
&#8220;This is truly a tragedy of epic proportion,&#8221; Acting Police Chief Mark Simmons said at an early-morning news conference. &#8220;Sixteen victims is unheard of, and for our community, who&#8217;s right now going through so much, to have to be dealt with this tragedy, needlessly, for people who decide to act in a violent manner is unfortunate and shameful, and we&#8217;re going to do everything that we can as a department to bring those people involved to justice.&#8221;

&#8220;This is yet another tragedy where individuals are having these illegal and unsanctioned house parties taking place in these properties,&#8221; Simmons said.

&#8220;This is not a moment for self-reflection,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;This is a moment that I&#8217;m asking the community to pray for the victims and their families.

The Lynwood city council voted Tuesday to place City Manager Jose Ometeotl on paid administrative leave after he posted an Instagram photo of Malcom X, with the text “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/city-of-lynwood-responds-to-city-manager-who-posted-chickens-come-home-to-roost-after-deputies-shot">Chickens Come Home To Roost</a>” over the image, in response to two Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies getting ambushed by an armed assailant over the weekend.
As a result of a city council vote, Ometeotl will now undergo an “internal investigation,&#8221; officials said late Tuesday.

Ometeotl wrote in the Instagram post: “The shooting of anyone is a wholly unacceptable occurrence in society. I do not condone the type of violence seen in the shooting of the deputies in Compton. I will say that communities like Compton have been plagued by deputy gangs that inflict fear and violence in the community. These deputies murdered, framed and stole from the community just because they could. Good deputies never turned on bad deputies for fear of retaliation and when caught most of these bad deputies kept their jobs and continued on their criminal career.”
“The fact that someone randomly opened fire on deputies is to be expected in the society we live in today. The political climate and leadership of Sheriff Villanueva has only sowed the seeds of anger and frustration in the community. I pray for the deputies and their families while still demanding justice for Andres Guardato, Breona Taylor, Tamir Rice, Ahmaud Arbery&#8230;&#8221; the post concluded.
After Fox News Los Angeles reporter Bill Melugin posted a screenshot of the city manager’s post to Twitter, Ometoetl made his Instagram account private, and the city distanced themselves from his post, saying it wasn’t reflective of the council’s beliefs.

Authorities have not yet arrested a suspect for the shooting, which left two deputies, a 31-year-old mother and a 24-year-old male, in critical condition and prompted an outpouring of support for law enforcement officers. Both officers had been sworn in to the force only 14 months ago, according to L.A. Sheriff Alex Villanueva.
On Tuesday evening, Villanueva announced that the male deputy had been released from the hospital, marking the next step in his long road to recovery.
“Great news, one of those deputies was released from the hospital today. He has a long road ahead for recovery. But he&#8217;s not alone. We, as a community, are in this together,” said Villanueva.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

The FBI arrested an individual late on Tuesday in connection with a drive-by shooting earlier in the day that resulted in a federal law enforcement officer being injured outside a Phoenix courthouse.
&#8220;The FBI is investigating an assault on a federal officer which occurred outside of the Federal Courthouse, 401 W. Washington, Phoenix, AZ around 11:30 a.m.,&#8221; the bureau&#8217;s Phoenix field office said in a statement. &#8220;One person, a court security officer, has been transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.&#8221;
The bureau later added: &#8220;An individual is in custody in connection with the assault on a federal officer &#8230; This is an ongoing investigation. No further information can be released at this time.&#8221;
ABC 15 reported that the suspect&#8217;s vehicle was seen leaving the area after the suspect opened fire on the officer.

&#8220;Multiple shots were fired at the officer who was struck in the vest. Injuries are believed to be non life threatening. Make no mistake, this is a direct result of the extremist anti-police attacks we have seen from BLM and Antifa across the country. This insanity needs to stop,&#8221; DiCiccio continued.

The attack comes after two Los Angeles Sheriff&#8217;s Department deputies were shot in the head earlier this week in Compton. The two deputies were rushed to the hospital with critical injuries where they were later met by left-wing protesters who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/blm-activists-try-to-block-storm-hospital-where-shot-deputies-were-taken-i-hope-they-fing-die">told</a> police officers that they hoped that the wounded deputies died.

A Chicago felon who was being monitored electronically following charges of possessing a stolen firearm as a felon has now been charged with allegedly shooting five people over the weekend, two of whom died.
CWB Chicago <a href="https://cwbchicago.com/2020/09/more-men-charged-with-shooting-people-while-free-bail-for-gun-charges.html">reported</a> that a 39-year-old man was holding a party in his backyard on Saturday when he ordered everyone to leave around 2 a.m. He then started shooting, hitting five people, killing two. One partygoer with a concealed carry permit fired back, critically injuring the original shooter, before he was killed.
“[Chicago Police Department] records show [the gunman] was arrested in April 2019 for being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a stolen firearm. He went home on electronic monitoring to await trial,” CWB Chicago reported.
“Every weekend, we can bring forth an example of a person out of jail that should be in jail,” CPD Superintendent David Brown said at a press conference on Monday.
As CWB reported, the gunman &#8220;has five previous felony convictions, including two for illegal gun possession.”
The latest incident comes at the same time that Chicago State’s Attorney Kim Foxx claimed gun violence was increasing in the city, touting the city’s Gun Crimes Strategies Unit in a tweet on Monday.
“Our innovative Gun Crimes Strategies Unit puts prosecutors directly into police districts struggling with high rates of gun violence &#8211; where it&#8217;s decreasing at a higher rate than the city as a whole. These data-driven efforts show the reality of addressing both safety &amp; reform,” Foxx tweeted while linking to a tweet from the State’s Attorney’s Office that provided a study showing arrests are up in the districts with prosecutors. That <a href="https://www.cookcountystatesattorney.org/news/innovative-state-s-attorney-s-office-program-results-dramatic-increase-repeat-gun-charges">study</a>, from the University of Chicago Crime Lab analyzing CPD records, claimed that fatal and non-fatal shootings in the five districts with a GCSU prosecutor “decreased by 35% from 2016 to 2018, compared to 31% for districts without an embedded prosecutor.”
Rafael Mangual, a senior fellow in criminal justice at the Manhattan Institute, however, pointed out CPD statistics show “*both* homicides *and* shooting incidents are each up 52% YTD through 9/6. In terms of districts, *both* murders *and* shootings are up in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 22nd, 24th, and 25th.”
GCSU prosecutors were placed in the 6th, 7th, 10th, 11th, and 15th districts.
CWB Chicago also provided more examples of people returning to the streets thanks to Chicago’s affordable bail initiative only to commit violent crimes:
<blockquote>On February 16, prosecutors charged 18-year-old Dimitris Horns with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and possessing a gun with a defaced serial number after he allegedly ditched a handgun while running from police.
Judge David Navarro allowed Horns to go onto electronic monitoring by posting a $500 deposit bond, according to court records.
Then, on July 8, Horns repeatedly pistol-whipped a man and shot him in the leg during a robbery that netted Horns $130, according to allegations made in court.
Prosecutors charged him with aggravated discharge of a firearm, discharging a firearm causing bodily harm during a robbery, and other felonies. He was also charged with escaping electronic monitoring and held on a warrant for reckless discharge of a firearm as a juvenile, according to court records.
Horns’ case does not qualify for Foxx’s “repeat offender” tally because the second alleged crime occurred after June 30, the deadline for qualifying as a “reoffender” under her scenario.</blockquote>

Rioters, whom some journalists identified as Antifa and Black Lives Matter supporters, attacked a police station in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on Sunday night and threw bricks at police officers.
The attack happened after a Lancaster police officer shot a man, identified by police as Ricardo Munoz, 27, who charged at him with a knife earlier in the day.
The Lancaster Police Department said that a group of more than 100 individuals refused to leave the area after an unlawful assembly had been declared.
&#8220;The group failed to follow the instructions and chemical agents were used to disperse the crowd,&#8221; the department said in a statement. &#8220;Members of the crowd damaged a county vehicle parked in the front of the police station. Bricks were thrown through the front of the police station and into the post office window.&#8221;
&#8220;People on the ramp, W. Chestnut St. and the park adjacent to the station threw water bottles, glass bottles, rocks, bricks, gallon jugs of liquids and parts of plastic road barricades at Officers,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;OC spray was also deployed at protestors that refused to move from the ramp and were physically challenging Officers that were moving to clear people from the ramp. As of time of this release, protestors are still gathered outside the station and have thrown traffic barricades, large planters and trash receptacles across the ramp. Protestors have also damaged a County of Lancaster vehicle parked on W. Chestnut St.&#8221;
Journalists Drew Hernandez and Elijah Schaffer posted videos to social media that showed the rioters attacking the police station and the police officers.

The violent riots and looting broke out after Munoz died in an officer-involved shooting. “Local authorities quickly released footage from the incident that showed the man running out of house and charging at the police officer with a knife,&#8221; The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/violent-riots-looting-hit-pennsylvania-after-cop-shoots-black-man-suspect-charged-at-cop-with-knife-video-shows">reported</a>. &#8220;Police responded to the home after a woman called them to report that her brother was allegedly becoming aggressive with their mother and trying to break into the home.”
“The first officer on the scene walked to the front of the residence and made contact with a woman, who was identified as a family member,” The Lancaster Bureau of Police said in a statement. “A male subject then exited the front door of the residence and began chasing the officer. Preliminary information and body worn camera footage indicates that the male subject had a knife in his right hand as he was chasing the officer. The officer fired several shots from his firearm, striking the subject. The subject, identified as 27 year old Lancaster man, did not survive his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. The officer was the only police officer on the scene at the time of the shooting and his body worn camera was activated and recorded the encounter.”
“The Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office was contacted immediately and is now conducting an investigation into the officer-involved shooting,” the statement later added. “While the investigation is still in the early stages and is on-going, the Lancaster City Bureau of Police is releasing this video footage after providing it to the investigators.”
A previous version of this article inaccurately described Munoz as a black man.

The city manager of Lynwood, California, which is near Compton, where two Los Angeles County deputies were ambushed and shot in the head Saturday night, posted a meme on Instagram after the shooting with a picture of the 1960’s black leader Malcolm X and the caption “CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST.”
Jose Ometeotl, City Manager of Lynwood, also wrote in the post, “The fact that someone randomly opened fire on deputies is to be expected in the society we live in today.” Ometeotl wrote:
<blockquote>The shooting of anyone is a wholly unacceptable occurrence in society.  I do not condone the type of violence seen in the shooting of the deputies in Compton.  I will say that communities like Compton have been plagued by deputy gangs that inflict fear and violence in the community.  These deputies murdered, framed and stole from the community just because they could.  Good deputies never turned on bad deputies for fear of retaliation and when caught most of these bad deputies kept their jobs and continued on their criminal career.
The fact that someone randomly opened fire on deputies is to be expected in the society we live in today.  The political climate and leadership of Sheriff Villanueva has only sowed the seeds of anger and frustration in the community.  I pray for the deputies and their families while still demanding justice for Andres Guardato, Breona Taylor, Tamir Rice, Ahmaud Arbery &#8230;</blockquote>

<blockquote>Two deputies with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department were hospitalized Saturday evening after a male gunman approached their patrol vehicle, fired multiple shots inside in an ambush attack, and then fled on foot, according to officials and video surveillance.
One of the deputies is a 31-year-old mother of a 6-year-old boy, and the other is a 24-year-old male, revealed Sheriff Alex Villanueva in a press conference Saturday evening. He did not disclose their condition.
“This is just a somber reminder: It’s a dangerous job,” said Villanueva during the press conference. “Actions — words — have consequences, and our job does not get any easier because people don’t like law enforcement.”</blockquote>
On Sunday, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department put up a six-figure reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the man who ambushed and shot the two deputies.

According to <a href="https://abc7.com/la-deputies-shot-los-angeles-shooting-compton-ambush/6421149/">ABC7</a>, a senior LASD official told the news agency that one of the sheriff’s deputies, a 31-year-old mother, is in critical but stable condition after she was shot in the jaw and arms. The other deputy, a 24-year-old male, was described as alert after he was shot in the forehead, arm, and hand.
The sheriff&#8217;s department has not confirmed the deputies’ condition or released their identities. Sheriff Alex Villanueva indicated Saturday evening that both of the deputies were relatively recent additions to the force, having been sworn in by him only 14 months ago.
During a press conference on Saturday evening, Villanueva described the shooting as a “somber reminder” that law enforcement officers have a difficult job, which “does not get any easier because people don’t like law enforcement.”
Shortly after Villanueva’s remarks — as if to bolster his point — a handful of anti-police demonstrators showed up to the hospital and shouted hateful things at the law enforcement officers standing guard as their fellow deputies inside the building fought for their lives.
One of the demonstrators that evening filmed himself approaching the hospital and seemed to identify himself as a member of the Africa Town Coalition.

L.A. Sheriff’s Department Offers Six-Figure Reward For Info In Shooting Of Ambushed Deputies

A Los Angeles National Public Radio reporter was arrested early Sunday, Los Angeles County Sheriffs said, after she &#8220;interfered&#8221; with police trying to prevent alleged Black Lives Matter protesters from storming the hospital where two severely wounded L.A. County Sheriffs deputies were taken following a horrific ambush attack.
Saturday night, two sheriffs deputies, a 31-year-old female and a 24-year-old male, were shot in what law enforcement officials are calling an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/l-a-sheriff-two-deputies-31-year-old-mother-24-year-old-male-ambushed-in-cowardly-attack">ambush attack</a>. The pair were sitting in their parked vehicle outside of a train station when they were approached by a suspect who opened fire without apparent cause, leaving the two deputies severely wounded.
The two deputies were taken to a local hospital. While the deputies were undergoing emergency surgery, alleged Black Lives Matter protesters moved to block the hospital&#8217;s entrances and exits as part of a demonstration. &#8220;Witnesses later said that the far-left activists, who shouted outside that they hoped the deputies died, attempted to storm the emergency room where the deputies were taken,&#8221; The Daily Wire&#8217;s Ryan Saavedra <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/blm-activists-try-to-block-storm-hospital-where-shot-deputies-were-taken-i-hope-they-fing-die">reported Sunday</a>.
A number of protesters were arrested in the altercation.
Los Angeles crime reporter Scott Schwebke first noted, early Sunday, that L.A.&#8217;s ABC affiliate had captured the arrest of a reporter, later identified as KPCC&#8217;s Josie Huang, on video. The footage shows deputies taking Huang to the ground and handcuffing her before taking her away in a police vehicle.

A number of people on Twitter lashed out at the L.A. Sheriffs Department for arresting Huang, arguing that her press credentials can be seen hanging around her neck in the ABC footage. The Sheriff&#8217;s Department, though, later tweeted that Huang admitted that she was not properly identified.
&#8220;After deputies issued a dispersal order for the unlawful assembly of a group of protesters blocking the hospital emergency entrance &amp; exits, a male adult protester refused to comply &amp; cooperate,&#8221; L.A. County Sheriffs tweeted, explaining why Huang was detained. &#8220;During his arrest, a struggle ensued at which time a female adult ran towards the deputies, ignored repeated commands to stay back as they struggled with the male and interfered with the arrest.&#8221;
&#8220;The female adult, who was later identified as a member of the press, did not identify herself as press and later admitted she did not have proper press credentials on her person. Both individuals have been arrested for 148 P.C.,&#8221; they noted.
California Penal Code Section 148(a) PC specifically prohibits knowing resisting or interfering with a lawful arrest or other emergency action by a known member of either law enforcement or an emergency medical team.

L.A. Sheriffs: NPR Reporter Arrested For ‘Interfering’ With Cops As They Tried To Control BLM Protests Outside Hospital

A Los Angeles National Public Radio reporter was arrested early Sunday, Los Angeles County Sheriffs said, after she &quot;interfered&quot; with police trying to

Two deputies with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department were hospitalized Saturday evening after a male gunman approached their patrol vehicle, fired multiple shots inside in an ambush attack, and then fled on foot, according to officials and video surveillance. 
One of the deputies is a 31-year-old mother of a 6-year-old boy, and the other is a 24-year-old male, revealed Sheriff Alex Villanueva in a press conference Saturday evening. He did not disclose their condition. 
“This is just a somber reminder: It’s a dangerous job,” said Villanueva during the press conference. “Actions — words — have consequences, and our job does not get any easier because people don’t like law enforcement.”
Villanueva said the two deputies, both of whom joined the force only 14 months ago, had been “ambushed” in a “cowardly fashion” while in their vehicle by a local metro station. 
“The two deputies were doing their job, minding their own business, watching out for the safety of the people on the train, and seeing somebody just walk up and just start shooting on them — it pisses me off, it dismays me at the same time,” he said later in the press conference. “There’s no pretty way to say it.”
After LASD posted an edited-down video clip of the shooting, President Donald Trump shared it on Twitter, simply saying: “Animals that must be hit hard!” The video clip has been attached below: 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Villanueva said that the two deputies had been shot multiple times, and were transported to a local hospital by other deputies after radioing for help. He also said both were responsive when they arrived at the hospital, but declined to elaborate on the nature of their wounds or where they had been shot. 
According to Fox News Los Angeles reporter Bill Melugin, the full video of the shooting, which has not been publicly released, shows the suspect creeping toward the vehicle before he shoots at the deputies. The full video also shows one of the deputies falling out of the vehicle and stumbling after the shooter flees, he said.

Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore released a statement after the attack, saying: &#8220;Tonight we pray for these two guardians to survive. I recognize and acknowledge we live in troubled times. But we must as a community work thru our differences while loudly and resoundly condemn violence. Blessed are the Peacemakers.&#8221;

Two deputies with the Los Angeles Sheriff&#8217;s Department were shot Saturday as they sat in their patrol vehicle near a metro station in Compton, California, the department said Saturday evening.
The deputies, one male and one female, were both shot “multiple times” and are currently in critical condition and undergoing surgery, according to the department.
“Moments ago, 2 of our Sheriff Deputies were shot in Compton and were transported to a local hospital. They are both still fighting for their lives, so please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. We will update this thread with information as it becomes available,” said the department Saturday evening.
Half an hour later, the department provided an update: “Update: One male deputy and one female deputy were ambushed as they sat in their patrol vehicle. Both sustained multiple gunshot wounds and are in critical condition. They are both currently undergoing surgery. The suspect is still at large.”

Attorney General Bill Barr released a statement on Friday lauding the law enforcement effort to track down the left-wing extremist accused of fatally shooting a supporter of President Donald Trump as a &#8220;significant accomplishment&#8221; toward making Portland, Oregon, safer.
Michael Forest Reinoehl, 48, was a “self-described Antifa member suspected of the alleged murder” who “fled to Washington State, where he was located yesterday by members of a fugitive task force led by the U.S. Marshals Service, the FBI, and state and local law enforcement partners,” said Barr.
“The tracking down of Reinoehl — a dangerous fugitive, admitted Antifa member, and suspected murderer — is a significant accomplishment in the ongoing effort to restore law and order to Portland and other cities,” he continued. &#8220;I applaud the outstanding cooperation among federal, state, and local law enforcement, particularly the fugitive task force team that located Reinoehl and prevented him from escaping justice. The streets of our cities are safer with this violent agitator removed, and the actions that led to his location are an unmistakable demonstration that the United States will be governed by law, not violent mobs.”
In the hours before the fatal police confrontation, Vice News <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsDWXx5tYfk">published an interview</a> with Reinoehl during which he seemed to admit to the shooting, saying that he “had no choice but to do” what he allegedly did.
“Lots of lawyers suggest that I shouldn’t even be saying anything, but I feel it’s important that the world at least gets a little bit of what’s really going on because there’s been a lot of propaganda put out there,” said Reinoehl.
He declined to provide details about what he did or felt right after the shooting, but said he “realized what had happened” and was “confident I did not hit anyone innocent.”
In an Instagram post, Reinoehl also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/portland-police-probing-antifa-blm-supporter-for-fatal-shooting-right-wing-protester">self-identified</a> as “100% ANTIFA all the way,” and called the “protesters and antifa” supporters his “brothers in arms.” Reinoehl also claimed in the social media post to have once been in the Army, but The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/03/us/michael-reinoehl-arrest-portland-shooting.html">reports</a> that an Army official was unable to find his service record.
“Every Revolution needs people that are willing and ready to fight. There are so many of us protesters that are just protesting without a clue of where that will lead. That’s just the beginning that’s where the fight starts. If that’s as far as you can take it thank you for your participation but please stand aside and support the ones that are willing to fight. I am 100% ANTIFA all the way! I am willing to fight for my brothers and sisters! Even if some of them are too ignorant to realize what antifa truly stands for,” Reinoehl wrote.
“We do not want violence but we will not run from it either! If the police continue to pick on and beat up innocent citizens that are peacefully voicing their objections, it must be met with equal force! We are currently living through a crucial point in Humanities evolution. We truly have an opportunity right now to fix everything. But it will be a fight like no other! It will be a war and like all wars there will be casualties. I was in the army and I hated it. I did not feel like fighting for them would ever be a good cause. Today’s protesters and antifa are my brothers in arms. This is a Cause to fight for This truly is fighting for my country,” he continued.
“I have children that need to live in a world run by Common Sense and human decency. And I will do anything to make sure that happens. Now is the time to change the course of humanity. If we fold now just because they show some Force we will be lost for another hundred years. And I don’t think the planet will let us live that long if we don’t straighten shit up. Please be safe strong and United. I love you all❤️💪🙏 #Antifa #blaklivesmatter #f**kthepolice,” he concluded.

Talk about a &#8220;Dead Pool.&#8221;
A bar on Long Island, NY,  has set up a betting pool &#8212; similar to the kind used for the Super Bowl &#8212; in which patrons pick the number of shootings that will occur in Chicago and New York City over the three-day Labor Day weekend.
Beneath the scoreboard, it says &#8220;Numbers are up early. Let the shooting sprees begin!&#8221; <a href="https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/li-bar-is-taking-bets-on-which-city-will-have-more-shootings-over-labor-day-weekend/2595507/">reports</a> NBC-4 in New York.
An Instagram post from last week showed the purchased boxes of bets, with a photo listing the rules of the gambling pool and setting out that the official count of deaths and shootings will be obtained from the New York Times and The Chicago Tribune, MSNBC <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/foodnews/patchogue-bar-spurs-controversy-with-shooting-death-gambling-pool/ar-BB18yMlu">reported</a>.
The bar in Patchogue, called The Cliffton, posted the game on Facebook, which drew criticism.
Mayor Paul Pontieri called the betting pool &#8220;foolish at best and disgusting at its worst because it isn&#8217;t what we are about&#8230;It&#8217;s not going to be tolerated and it shouldn&#8217;t be tolerated.&#8221;
Pontieri urged police and the state liquor authority to investigate because gambling at the bar is illegal.
The Long Island Chapter of the Brady Campaign Against Gun Violence also asked Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to probe the matter. “This is the kind of place that needs to be boycotted,” said the gun-control advocacy group.
The betting pool drew other criticism. &#8220;Racist and transphobic. Absolutely disgusting place and staff who represent the worst type of people that LI has to offer,&#8221; one person wrote on Facebook.
The bar courted controversy last year after it published a social media post that included a transphobic joke about two bar patrons and customers complained.
&#8220;Why does this not surprise me from a bar that waves a Trump 2020 flag outside of it out in Patchogue. They&#8217;re running a gambling pool for the amount of shooting deaths labor day weekend comparing NY and Chicago. They&#8217;re even cutting money off the top for themselves,&#8221; wrote another person.
Ten people were killed and 45 more, including two Chicago police officers and a 15-year-old boy, were wounded in shootings across Chicago over the past weekend.
Chicago officials raised bridges and shut down some train and bus service last month after a night of rioting and looting caused widespread damage in the city’s downtown and along the Magnificent Mile shopping district.
Rioters and looters rampaged through Chicago’s Magnificent Mile shopping district, sparked by a shooting by a police officer hours earlier that left a young man wounded. Social media exploded with videos showing hundreds of people looting stores such as Apple, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Best Buy, Coach, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton. In some videos, gunfire can be heard.
&#8220;Chicago had 105 murders in July, more than double the 44 in July 2019, and 584 shooting victims is also up dramatically from the same period last year, with 308 reported in July 2019. July was the most violent month in 28 years, <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-weekend-shooting-20200803-xkevk64unvdijfzboyyn4vowly-story.html">according</a> to the Chicago Tribune.
Things are just as bad in New York City. There was a 177% increase year-over-year in the number of shooting incidents across the city in July, with 244 in total, amny.com <a href="https://www.amny.com/police-fire/crime-stats-show-that-shootings-are-skyrocketing-compared-to-july-last-year/">reported</a>. &#8220;In July 2019, there were only 88 shootings over the course of the month. The number of shootings increased by 72% year-to-date, with 450 by July 2019 to 772 by July 2020.&#8221;

FBI officials in Chicago have warned officers of the Chicago Police Department that they be under attack from a &#8220;cabal&#8221; of three dozen street gangs who have pledged to shoot cops on sight if they see a CPD officer with a gun drawn.
<a href="https://abc7chicago.com/fbi-chicago-warns-that-gang-cabal-may-be-targeting-police-officers-/6397730/">Chicago&#8217;s ABC affiliate reports</a> that, according to a memo that went out from the FBI&#8217;s Chicago office to members of the CPD, &#8220;three dozen cold-blooded street gangs&#8221; &#8220;have formed a pact to &#8216;shoot on-site any cop that has a weapon drawn on any subject in public,'&#8221;
&#8220;The &#8216;situational information report&#8217; from FBI officials in Chicago dated August 26, 2020, states &#8216;members of these gang factions have been actively searching for, and filming, police officers in performance of their official duties. The purpose of which is to catch on film an officer drawing his/her weapon on any subject and the subsequent &#8216;shoot on-site&#8217; of said officer, in order to garner national media attention.'&#8221;
The FBI does warn that the &#8220;Potential Activity Alert&#8221; is the result of a discussion with &#8220;a contact whose reporting is limited and whose reliability cannot be determined.&#8221;
Chicago&#8217;s police superintendent, David Brown, told ABC Chicago that the department is taking the threat seriously, regardless, especially after a violent weekend that saw two police officers shot during what should have been a routine traffic stop.
&#8220;I think it&#8217;s bigger than a suggestion,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think 51 officers being shot at or shot in one year, I think that quadruples any previous year in Chicago&#8217;s history. So I think it&#8217;s more than a suggestion that people are seeking to do harm to cops.&#8221;
&#8220;Whether they&#8217;re associated with a gang or not we&#8217;ve seen increasing violence throughout,&#8221; he continued, <a href="https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicagos-top-cop-says-its-more-than-a-suggestion-that-police-are-being-targeted/2331650/">per NBC Chicago</a>, in a press conference addressing the weekend violence. &#8220;Shooting babies and kids with impunity with no regard for innocent bystanders. So I wouldn&#8217;t say that it&#8217;s associated with a specific, whether it&#8217;s a gang or culture, I think overall there&#8217;s this sense of lawlessness.&#8221;
&#8220;We just can&#8217;t let our guard down for a moment,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;Our strategy is to be prepared for 24 hours a day, seven days a week.&#8221;
In the last month alone, several Chicago police officers have been wounded on the job. In early August, one Chicago police officer was left in critical condition after a shootout with a carjacking suspect on the city&#8217;s west side, according to <a href="https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/08/04/chicago-police-officer-shot-in-chin-during-shootout-with-suspect-last-week-out-of-medically-induced-coma/">CBS Chicago</a>.
Over the weekend, officers responding to a traffic stop on the city&#8217;s west side &#8220;broke out the window&#8221; of the vehicle after spotting a gun on the floor of the car&#8217;s back seat, and after the driver refused to exit the vehicle at the officers&#8217; command. The suspect then opened fire, shooting one officer &#8221; in the shoulder and the other officer in the side,&#8221; per a <a href="https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/2-chicago-police-officers-shot/2331177/">separate NBC Chicago report</a>. A third officer, who happened to be on the scene, shot the suspect.
The officers were two of 55 people shot over the weekend in Chicago. Ten people were killed.

Los Angeles police are seeking information on three men who evaded capture Sunday afternoon after allegedly firing shots at a caravan of vehicles waving Trump flags, en route from Woodland Hills, California, to Studio City.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-shots-may-have-been-fired-at-los-angeles-pro-trump-caravan-local-media-says">The Daily Wire reported Sunday</a> that shots &#8220;may have been fired&#8221; at the pro-Trump caravan, but police and rally attendees weren&#8217;t quite clear on the details. LAPD did say Sunday that they called out a SWAT team in response to rally-goers concerns about the potential gunfire.
“Officer Will Cooper of the Los Angeles Police Department said officials received a report that a man was firing at a caravan as it traveled along Ventura Boulevard near Chalk Hill shortly before 11:30 a.m. The incident was initially described as someone brandishing a firearm and throwing bottles at the vehicles but was later updated to include a report of shots fired, he said,” <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-08-30/armed-standoff-in-woodland-hills-after-shots-reportedly-fired-at-trump-car-caravan">the Los Angeles Times noted</a>.
Later reports indicated that a barricaded gunman situation reported separately to the LAPD, was likely connected to the alleged shooting.
Monday morning, the LAPD announced that they were seeking three men &#8212; the alleged gunman and two other persons of interest &#8212; in connection with the incident.
&#8220;The alleged shooting happened about 11:30 a.m. as the caravan of Trump supporters moved along Ventura Boulevard near the Chalk Hills Court building in the 20300 block,&#8221;<a href="https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2020/08/30/trump-rally-caravan-protest-san-fernando-valley/"> Los Angeles&#8217; CBS affiliate reported</a>. &#8220;A SWAT team was called in eventually to 20568 Ventura Boulevard after police said the three men ran into an apartment building and refused to come out, leading to a standoff.&#8221;
&#8220;SWAT members made entry into the apartment at 5:30 p.m. but found no one inside, the LAPD reported,&#8221; the outlet added, noting that it appears the three men were able to escape from law enforcement.
The LAPD did note that the three men were caught on camera throwing rocks at the caravan before the alleged shooting, so they do have a clear picture of their suspects.
&#8220;The rally was mostly peaceful but police ended up shutting down part of the demonstration after three men were allegedly caught on camera throwing bottles at the caravan and then reportedly firing shots, which someone believed hit the tire of a truck in the rally,&#8221; CBS noted.
If police are able to verify the shooting, that would make the third incidence of gun violence attached to some form of demonstration in less than one week.
In Kenosha, a 17-year-old vigilante shot three people, killing two, in an altercation with rioters. He has been charged with at least one count of first-degree murder, alongside nearly a dozen additional, lesser charges. Police are also seeking a self-described member of Antifa for a shooting over the weekend in Portland, Oregon, that left a right-wing protester dead, after two opposing demonstrations clashed.

A 17-year-old Antioch, Illinois, man has been arrested in connection with a shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Tuesday night that left two people dead and one injured.
The teen is not a Wisconsin resident. He was taken into custody by Antioch police on Wednesday morning and is being held in a juvenile detention facility in Lake County, Illinois, just south of the Illinois-Wisconsin border. He is expected to be charged with first-degree intentional homicide, <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/473738125/People-v-Kyle-Rittenhouse?campaign=SkimbitLtd&amp;ad_group=44681X1458326X6d48a3da16fb0b4e91a236ffff26f98c&amp;keyword=660149026&amp;source=hp_affiliate&amp;medium=affiliate">according to the charging document,</a> which was issued in Kenosha.
<a href="https://www.dailydot.com/debug/2-killed-by-vigilante-wisconsin/">The Daily Dot</a>, which broke the story, notes that the alleged shooter is being labeled a &#8220;fugitive of justice&#8221; because he fled back to his home state after the incident, which occurred just before midnight local time.
&#8220;[The alleged shooter] fled the state of Wisconsin with the intent to avoid prosecution for that offense,&#8221; the document reads. It also notes that the teen will be charged with &#8220;first-degree intentional homicide&#8221; when he appears in bond court on Friday morning.
The Antioch Police Department has yet to issue a statement on the matter, but law enforcement sources confirmed the arrest to The Daily Wire.
Kenosha, Wisconsin, police began a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kenosha-police-manhunt-underway-for-possible-vigilante-who-shot-looters-killing-2">manhunt for the suspect last night</a> after a viral video emerged appearing to show an armed white man running down the street wielding what appears to be a long gun or rifle. The video shows another man chasing the suspect then knocking him down and informing bystanders that the armed man &#8220;shot someone.&#8221;
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-shots-fired-during-kenosha-blm-riots-after-democrat-governor-reportedly-refused-federal-help">The Daily Wire reported earlier Wednesday</a>, the video then shows a struggle, with the armed man firing off at least two shots. Kenosha police say three people were injured in the altercation. Two were killed. One remains in the hospital with &#8220;non-life-threatening&#8221; injuries. The victims have not yet been publicly identified.
Kenosha police issued a statement asking residents for assistance in identifying the armed man in the video. They later told The New York Times that they suspected the man may be one of a number of “self-styled militias guarding a gas station,&#8221; and that he could be an out-of-town &#8220;vigilante.&#8221; Wednesday morning, the Kenosha Police Department noted to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinent that they believed an arrest was imminent.
The FBI is also believed to be assisting police.
Unrest in Kenosha is now in its fourth day following an officer-involved shooting that left 29-year-old Jacob Blake, a black man, in critical condition. Blake was shot at least seven times in the back during an altercation with Kenosha Police. Now-viral video shows some of the incident, but notably depicts Blake reaching down into the open driver-side door of a gray SUV as a Kenosha police officer holds the back of his shirt.
That officer is believed to have fired several rounds at Blake, hitting him in the back. Blake&#8217;s family told reporters Tuesday that they believe he is now paralyzed from the waist down.
UPDATE: &#8220;Commander Norman Johnson of the Antioch Police Department said the suspect was arrested on suspicion of first-degree intentional homicide,&#8221; <a href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/2020/8/26/21402877/kyle-rittenhouse-kenosha-shooting-arrest-antioch-jacob-blake">according to the Chicago Sun-Times</a>. &#8220;Antioch is about 15 miles from Kenosha, which has seen three straight nights of unrest since the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake.&#8221;

Teen Suspected In Kenosha Shooting Taken Into Custody In Illinois, Charged With First Degree Murder

https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/08/GettyImages-1228187226.jpg

A staff writer at The Washington Post is spinning their own narrative about the shootings that took place in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Tuesday night, downplaying the role of rioters in the incident.
On Twitter and in her <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/08/26/jacob-blake-kenosha-police-protests/">article</a> written with fellow Post writers Mark Guarino and Mark Berman, Jaclyn Peiser portrayed the shootings as one white man with a gun firing randomly into a crowd of protesters. The shootings resulted in the deaths of two people along with serious wounds to a third person, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-shots-fired-during-kenosha-blm-riots-after-democrat-governor-reportedly-refused-federal-help">reported</a>.
Here’s how the Post described the shooting:
<blockquote>Shots were fired around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, police said. After the first shots, a young White man carrying a rifle began running north on Sheridan Road, away from a crowd of protesters. Video <a href="https://twitter.com/BGOnTheScene/status/1298496272500916225">shows the armed man</a> fall to the ground and then fire multiple rounds into the crowd. Two more people fell to the ground, one shot in the arm and the other in the chest, the Journal Sentinel reported. Another graphic <a href="https://twitter.com/ShmueliF/status/1298494182101790721">video</a> shows a man with blood running down the back of his neck and bystanders shouting that he had been shot in the head.</blockquote>
A Post video journalist named in the article, Whitney Leaming, also claimed that after the man with the rifle ran past, he “tripped and fell, then rolled into a sitting position, raised his gun and opened fire at his pursuers.”
Video from the evening, including one linked by the Post itself, tells a different story.
The man with the rifle seen in the video wearing a green shirt and firing at protesters was previously at a local business (the Post said they were “protecting a gas station,”) that was being attacked by rioters. Rioters previously burned down a car dealership nearby. Someone is shot and another person goes to help, with the armed man hovering around the scene a few seconds. Another man approaches and the armed man runs.
A crowd then starts chasing the man with the rifle, and he falls down. At this point, he doesn’t merely shoot into the crowd of pursuers. He is on the ground when one man jumps on him, kicking him. Another person tries to take his gun, and a third person approaches him, turns back, and then moves aggressively toward the man on the ground. This final pursuer is shot in the arm and, in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cjtv.io/videos/726145031563748/?v=726145031563748">footage</a> taken immediately after, can be seen holding a pistol, which he says is “loaded.”
The Washington Post does not mention the actions of the men pursuing the man with the rifle. Peiser also refers to those rioting, destroying businesses, and chasing fellow citizens as “protesters,” while claiming an “armed militia” was patrolling the city, which is currently being burned by rioters.
As The Daily Wire previously reported, the night of shootings followed Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) reportedly refusing additional National Guard help from the Trump administration.
“I got a call today from [Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis.,] that represents that district, from Senator Johnson as well, really just pleading for help, said that the local sheriff and mayor and police chief need some additional assistance,” White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/meadows-wisconsin-gov-rejected-federal-help-kenosha">said</a>. “I got on the phone right away, and called the governor, and offered assistance in the form of additional National Guard help.”
The man seen in the videos with a rifle has been charged with first-degree murder, although he has not been apprehended.

Kenosha Police released a statement Wednesday morning alerting Wisconsin residents that a &#8220;manhunt&#8221; is underway for a man who shot three suspected looters in Kenosha Tuesday night, killing two and wounding one.
The suspect, who appears to be a young white male, is seen in several now-viral videos, wielding a long gun, and could be one of a number of vigilantes who took it upon themselves to protect Kenosha businesses from the destruction and violence that has raged across the city since Sunday in the wake of a police-involved shooting that left Jacob Blake, a black man, in critical condition.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-shots-fired-during-kenosha-blm-riots-after-democrat-governor-reportedly-refused-federal-help">The Daily Wire reported earlier Wednesday</a>, altercations broke out in Kenosha late Tuesday night, and it appears an &#8220;armed citizen&#8221; opened fire on rioters trying to break into a car dealership.
&#8220;BREAKING they shot someone in the head at the <a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1n1174f r-1loqt21 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/KENOSHA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1298484114274820096%7Ctwgr%5E&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fbreaking-shots-fired-during-kenosha-blm-riots-after-democrat-governor-reportedly-refused-federal-help&amp;src=hashtag_click" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-focusable="true">#KENOSHA</a> riot RIGHT NOW I repeat someone has been shot in what appears to be the head while looting a car shop,&#8221; guerilla reporter Elijah Schaffer reported on Twitter just after midnight.
A separate video reporter who goes by the moniker &#8220;BG On the Scene&#8221; captured the incident in his own social media video. Townhall&#8217;s Julio Rosas followed up with reporting on the first man&#8217;s wounds. In the ensuing melee, the gunman allegedly shot two more people. It is not clear yet which of the victims died.
Kenosha&#8217;s police department issued a statement early Wednesday asking Kenosha residents for help in identifying the gunman. They <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/25/us/jacob-blake-kenosha-fires.html?action=click&amp;module=Top%20Stories&amp;pgtype=Homepage">later told The New York Times</a>, however, that they believe the shooter may have come to Kenosha from out of state and that the incident may have stemmed from a fight that broke out between “self-styled militias guarding a gas station&#8221; and rioters.
Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth told the <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2020/08/26/kenosha-shooting-shots-fired-during-protest-injuries-reported/3441271001/">Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel</a> that they do have information on the shooter and do not expect him to be at large very long.
&#8220;No one has been apprehended, but Beth said he believed at least one person would be taken into custody soon based on video footage police have reviewed,&#8221; the outlet reported.
“I feel very confident we’ll have him in a very short time,” Beth said, according to the Journal-Sentinel.
Although Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers resisted White House efforts to assist in keeping the peace in Kenosha and deployed only a quarter of available National Guard troops on Tuesday evening, it appears he may be considering a larger show of force for the rest of the week.
On Tuesday, the governor signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency and doubling the National Guard&#8217;s presence in Kenosha, <a href="https://madison.com/wsj/news/local/govt-and-politics/wisconsin-national-guard-presence-to-increase-following-protests-related-to-police-shooting-of-jacob-blake/article_2d3a3e1b-7e34-5dfc-9b36-7e1c979861d1.html">according to the Madison State Journal</a>. Further measures are expected later in the afternoon on Wednesday.
