Fischer called for the protesters to calm down, after a day of peaceful protests was stained with violence on Wednesday with the attacks against two policemen who suffered gunshot wounds and are in the Louisville University Hospital recovering from injuries that did not put their lives on danger.

A suspect is in custody, Acting Police Chief Robert Schroeder reported.

The activists came out for a second night in a row to pursue their cause following a grand jury verdict that decided not to press murder charges against the officers who broke into Taylor's apartment during a narcotics investigation.

The officers involved in the case allege that they were repelling an attack because they were shot from the room.

Taylor's boyfriend claims that he opened fire in self-defense, saying that they never identified themselves when they entered by force.
