Seven shot in Louisville overnight during police protest.
 
Seven people were shot in Louisville last night during a protest over a police involved shooting there earlier this year. The police were not involved in this protest shooting according to the article.

So, protestors are shooting each other?

Police in body armour and face shields held batons and lined up around Louisville City Hall.
 
They appeared to fire rubber bullets and deploy tear gas canisters, fogging the air and inducing coughs among the remaining members of the crowd.

Rubber bullets are just intended to be non-lethal, doesn't mean that they don't wound.

@mypeez : Well, if you start throwing bottles at the police.....
"What started out as a peaceful protest earlier this evening is now escalating into property damage, more aggressive action, and we've just heard reports of shots fired in the crowd," she said at the time. She said that in addition to property damage bottles had been thrown at officers."

@ChefKevin : It was meant to recant your rhetorical question of "So, protestors are shooting each other?".
