Relative Calm Prevails in US City Where Police Shooting of Black Man Sparks
Killings, Unrest

VOA News

   The Midwestern U.S. city of Kenosha, Wisconsin, remained calm Thursday
   after the first relatively peaceful night of protests since Sunday's
   shooting of an African American man, Jacob Blake.

   Demonstrators appeared to be more subdued Wednesday night after the
   chaos of the previous night when, police said, a 17-year-old from the
   neighboring state of Illinois fatally shot two demonstrators and
   wounded another. The teen was arrested Wednesday and was facing charges
   of first-degree intentional homicide, according to media reports.

   Armed groups that had been walking the streets were not seen Wednesday
   night, and protesters stayed clear of a courthouse where demonstrators
   and police had faced off earlier.
