A Black man, Jacob Blake was hospitalized in serious condition after police shot him several times in the back as he opened the door of a parked vehicle in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Graphic video of the shooting emerged on social media late Sunday, sparking angry protests that prompted the city to declare an emergency curfew.
The man was later identified as Jacob Blake, 29, according to Governor Tony Evers, who said Blake was “shot in the back multiple times, in broad daylight.”
While we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country,” Evers said in a statement.

Jacob Blake’s kids were inside car during police shooting, saw father ‘being riddled with bullets,’ attorney says
Three Wisconsin children were sitting in a car when police shot their father multiple times at close range as he tried to get into the vehicle Sunday afternoon, according to an attorney representing the family.
The Black man, identified by the governor as 29-year-old Jacob Blake, was taken to a hospital in serious condition after the caught-on-video shooting in Kenosha.
“Even worse, his three sons witnessed their father collapse after being riddled with bullets,” he wrote. “Their irresponsible, reckless, and inhumane actions nearly cost the life of a man who was simply trying to do the right thing by intervening in a domestic incident. It’s a miracle he’s still alive.”
Kenosha Police have not released any details about the incident, but they said officers were responding to a “domestic” situation. The officers involved have been placed on leave and the investigation has been turned over to the Wisconsin Department of Justice.
