Police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, were looking early Wednesday for a man armed with a long gun after one person was killed and two others were injured during protests over the shooting of Jacob Blake. Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said one victim was shot in the head and another in the chest late Tuesday, just before midnight. Beth didn’t know where the other person was shot, but video posted on social media showed someone had been shot in the arm. No one has been apprehended, but Beth said he believed at least one person would be taken into custody soon based on video footage police have reviewed. “I feel very confident we’ll have him in a very short time,” Beth said. The shooting came on the third night of violent protests that have torn through Kenosha after a police officer shot Blake from behind at close range while he was getting in a vehicle. Since then, buildings have been burned, windows smashed out and stores looted. The investigation of the latest shooting is being conducted by the Kenosha Police Department with the assistance of the FBI, Beth said.
