‘No Justice, No Peace’: Wisconsin protesters defy another curfew in third night of protests

Two people were shot to death and another was wounded during a third night of protests in Kenosha over the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, and authorities Wednesday hunted for a possible vigilante seen on cellphone video opening fire in the middle of the street with a rifle. (AP)

The gunfire was reported just before midnight, and Sheriff David Beth said one victim was shot in the head and another in the chest, AP reported. The third victim's wounds were not believed to life-threatening. (Reuters)

The shooting of Blake — apparently while three of his children looked on — was captured on cellphone video and ignited new protests in the U.S. three months after the death of George Floyd under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer touched off a nationwide reckoning over racial injustice. (AP)

Anger over the shooting has spilled into the streets of other cities, including Los Angeles and Minneapolis, the epicenter of the Black Lives Matter movement this summer following Floyd's death. (Reuters)
