In case you missed it, our staff @WFPLNews @KentuckyCIR had a flurry of stories yesterday night, including coverage of #LouisvilleProtests and deeper looks at the shooting of #DavidMcAtee. Here's some of it:
Reporter @jaredtbennett looked at the role of the National Guard in the protests, as well as in McAtee's death.

.@RyanVanVelzer was out covering the protests much of the night, and was also on hand to capture it when @louisvillemayor spoke with the crowd for the first time Tuesday. wfpl.org/after-6-days-m…
.@aminamania dug much deeper on the video police released yesterday, which they say showed it seems #DavidMcAtee fired first before he was shot. There's no body cam footage; the security video offers both new evidence and new questions about the event. wfpl.org/in-david-mcate…
.@eklib wore out her shoes walking from neighborhood to neighborhood with protesters last night. She reports that last night, police tactics seemed to have changed. There was no tear gas or pepper balls, and protesters marched peacefully. wfpl.org/after-five-day…
And @jess_m_clark and @jacobhryan spent the evening at 26th and Broadway, the site of McAtee's shooting and his barbecue stand. They report that family, friends and neighbors are unwavering in their belief that McAtee wouldn't have shot at police. wfpl.org/as-police-narr…
