Investigators are trying to gather as much information as possible to identify everyone involved in the incident, police say.
So far, no one has been arrested in the case.
Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer says it’s a tragedy that the area of peaceful protests has now become a scene.
“I’m deeply saddened by the violence that erupted in Jefferson Square Park last night,” Fischer said.
Louisville has been the center of demonstrations after George Floyd died following the injuries he sustained in connection with an arrest in Minneapolis in May. The demonstrations have also focused on 26-year-old Breonna Taylor, who was shot and killed by police in her own Louisville apartment in March.
