Law enforcement officials were physically attacked in cities across the United States on Monday night amid violent riots. Videos of some of the attacks circulated online.
Among the attacks, was the shooting of four police officers in Missouri amid a protest-turned-riot that broke out in response to the death of George Floyd last week.
“While police have not confirmed the precise location where the incident took place, but department sources have indicated that it was in the Olive Street corridor, not far from Metropolitan Police Department headquarters,” Fox 2 reported early Tuesday. “A news release indicated that the injuries were all non life-threatening, but that police were still taking gunfire downtown. St. Louis police crews on scene in the Olive corridor have been augmented by Missouri State Highway Patrol and other law enforcement assets.”
St. Louis Police Chief John Hayden told reporters: “I believe some coward randomly shot at the police line.”
