Details were not immediately available about the circumstances of McAtee's death, Fischer said.He added, however, that authorities know two Louisville police officers and two National Guard soldiers had fired their weapons. The officers say they returned fire after someone shot at them, Fischer said. Kentucky Governor Andy Bashear, a Democrat, promised an exhaustive investigation."My pledge is that we will give you the truth, no matter what the truth is," he told a news conference.Last Thursday, seven people were shot throughout the city during the ongoing protests, according to NBC News - no officers were involved. Like protesters across the country, the Louisville marchers were incensed by the treatment of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who died in Minneapolis police custody after being pinned beneath a white officer’s knee for nearly nine minutes. But they were also protesting against the Louisville officers who shot 26-year-old Breonna Taylor while serving a "no knock" search warrant at her apartment.Statement from Governor Andy Beshear: pic.twitter.com/MyHxcE3Ntn
