A graphic video reportedly to be of the shooting and posted on Facebook, shows at least two Kenosha, WI police officers following the man with guns drawn as he walks from the passenger side of a gray vehicle to the driver’s side.
When the man opens the door of the vehicle and tries to get in, one of the officers is seen grabbing him by the T-shirt. The officer points his gun at the man as he holds on to the man’s T-shirt.
At least seven gunshots are heard, and the man appears to go limp in the vehicle, the car horn blaring.
Police said they were called to the address to deal with a domestic disturbance, but it is unclear who called or what happened before the video recording began.
The man has been identified as Jacob Blake who currently in serious condition.
Attorney Benjamin Crump said Blake’s family reached out to him for assistance.

“They saw a cop shoot their father. They will be traumatized forever. We cannot let officers violate their duty to PROTECT us. Our kids deserve better!!” Crump said in a post on Twitter.
