Protesters gather at the site of a Tuesday night shooting on Aug 26 in Kenosha.

Kaul also told a news conference that Blake, during the course of the investigation, had “admitted that he had a knife in his possession”. In a separate development hours earlier, a teenager was arrested and charged with shooting three people, two of whom died, during Tuesday night’s protests in Kenosha.

About 200 protesters defied the curfew for hours after dark as they marched peacefully through city streets, chanting, “Black lives matter” and “No justice, no peace”, while law enforcement kept a low profile.National Guard soldiers were seen taking a dinner break behind the county courthouse, surrounded by barricades and heavy fencing erected around several downtown public buildings the previous day.

Blake, according to the attorney-general, then walked around his vehicle, opened the driver-side door and leaned forward, as officer Sheskey, clutching Blake’s shirt, fired his weapon seven times at Blake’s back.The officers involved have been placed on administrative leave.
