Louisville war
Three people were injured when gunshots rang out in Louisville as a black militia group carrying semiautomatic weapons and a far-right organization carrying heavy firearms came face-to-face during demonstrations Saturday.
According to local reports, an argument erupted between Black Lives Matter supporters and members of the far-right Three Percenters militia on the corner of Fifth and Jefferson Streets in Louisville on Saturday shortly after 1pm local time.
But the shooting took place a few blocks away in Baxter Park, where an estimated 200 armed members of the Atlanta-based ‘Not F*****g Around Coaltion' had gathered before marching toward the main protest site in downtown.
Louisville police have formed a barricade to separate the two opposing camps.
According to the Louisville Courier Journal, a firearm appeared to have accidentally been discharged in the NFAC section in Baxter Park, resulting in two people being injured.
WDRB-TV is reporting that three people, including a minor, were wounded.
DailyMail.com has reached out to the Louisville Metro Police Department for comment.

What's the difference between "semiautomatic weapons" and "heavy firearms"?
And how is that different from any news source in America?
An example of manipulation by the media and others resulting in confrontations for confrontation sake. People are being used then people are taking sides on which ones of those being used are right. So more people divided by design.

I wounder why this was moved to the political forum? I don't really see anything political about it but then I am just a peon.
