Black Lives Matter Protesters Shot At While Marching in Pennsylvania
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In Pennsylvania, dozens of Black Lives Matter protesters on a march from
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Washington, D.C., were shot at by a white
resident Monday night as they walked through a residential neighborhood
in Bedford County east of Pittsburgh. One protester was injured by the
gunfire and treated at a local hospital.

In Louisville, Kentucky, police arrested 68 people Tuesday as they
protested nonviolently to demand the arrest of the officers who killed
Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old EMT who was killed by police in her own
home in March.
