A Louisville police chief has been fired after a protester was fatally shot.
An investigation revealed two officers involved in the death of black business owner David McAtee did not have their bodycams activated at the time their weapons were fired.
Officials say the police and National Guard were trying to disperse a group of protestors when they were shot at and returned fire.
The pair have been placed on administrative leave.
Meanwhile Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer says the police chief has been fired, saying, "An immediate change in leadership is required."
An investigation into the death is now underway.
The protests in the area have largely focused on the death of emergency medical technician Breonna Taylor who was shot multiple times after police officers entered her apartment by force as part of a narcotics investigation.
Fischer adds, "While we demand accountability and know that structural and policy changes must be made, I am committed to standing with the people of our city to build trust and a path forward. In the midst of our pain today, a powerful display of unity was shown as officers put down their weapons and the community locked arms. Let’s build on that, demand justice and heal together."
