Family and friends of #DavidMcAtee told @jacobhryan he wouldn’t have shot at police.

“He thought they were his friends, and they killed him.” (2/3)

Committee chair Brent Ackerson says interim chief Robert Schroeder will be put under oath, then face the committee's questions.

"I was unable to testify under the advice of my attorney" due to lawsuit "but at all times I have agreed to provide information in executive session."

Executive session is not open to the public.

Schroeder: Our response to protests was not always perfect, but we responded the best we could "reasonably do under the unprecedented circumstances" combined with limited resources/staffing.

@louisvillemayor

@louisvillemayor @LMPD Fischer says one of the officers shot last night (in the leg) has been treated and released. The other (shot in abdomen) underwent surgery and is expected to recover. Mayor says violence is not the answer, and last night's shootings "completely unacceptable."
