Groups that took to Kenosha’s streets with long guns were nowhere to be seen during somber protests with no widespread unrest for the first night since the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Protesters were solemn Wednesday night in the southeastern Wisconsin city. Authorities say a 17-year-old from a nearby Illinois community killed two demonstrators and wounded a third in shootings late Tuesday that were largely caught on cellphone video.
That attack and the police shooting Sunday of Blake, a 29-year-old Black father who was left paralyzed from the waist down, made Kenosha the latest focal point in the fight against racial injustice that is gripping the country.
