Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul released a statement about the shooting in Kenosha, labeling it "despicable."

"While the two people who were killed and the person who was injured by gunfire have not yet been identified, we are thinking of their destroyed futures and their friends and families that must live with this overwhelming grief," he said.

Kaul added that the city's residents deserve the oppurtunity to grieve, peacefully protest and demand change. He also noted that those coming to Kenosha heavily armed "to attempt to spur chaos" should leave the city.

Blake was shot seven times in the back by police on Sunday (Aug. 23) as he approached the driver’s side door of his vehicle which held his three children ages 8, 5, and 3 years old. He is currently in critical condition at a Milwaukee area hospital.The Kenosha County Sheriff's Department and Wisconsin State Patrol are currently investigating the shooting. Family attorney Benjamin Crump said at a press conference that Blake is paralyzed from the waist down and it is not known if he will walk again.
