The 21-year department veteran was shot in the hip during Wednesday's riots over the lack of criminal charges in connection to the mid-March death of Breonna Taylor.

A second officer, Robinson Desrouches, was shot in the abdomen and had to undergo surgery. He is reported to be recovering.

The suspected shooter, identified as Larynzo Johnson, 26, was charged with two accounts of assault in the first degree and a total of 14 count of wanton endangerment in connection with the shooting of police officers.
