At least seven people were shot, one critically, in Louisville, Ky. Thursday night during a protest over the fatal police shooting of a black woman in her home in March, the Louisville Metro Police confirmed.

Police said “some arrests” had been made after the shooting was reported around 11:30 p.m.

Between 500 and 600 protesters took to the streets to seek justice for Breonna Taylor, an EMT who was shot by police after they entered her apartment with a “no knock” search warrant.

The department said officers were returning fire after Taylor’s boyfriend shot at them.

“Understandably, emotions are high,” Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer tweeted after the shooting was reported. “As Breonna's mother says let's be peaceful as we work toward truth and justice.”
