Louisville Police Chief Fired After Fatal Shooting

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – Riot police firing tear gas have scattered a protest crowd in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. That came hours after Monday’s firing of the city’s police chief in the uproar over the early morning shooting death of a popular restaurant owner by security forces. David McAtee, owner of a Louisville barbecue spot, died while police and National Guard soldiers were enforcing a curfew amid protests over a previous police shooting in Kentucky’s largest city. Police said they were responding to gunfire from a crowd. Louisville’s mayor announced Police Chief Steve Conrad was fired, saying officers involved in the shooting had failed to activate body cameras.
