Protests erupted in overnight in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after a Black man was shot several times at close range in the back during an encounter with police. The shooting was caught on video that has since gone viral on social media, sparking outrage.
The man, who has been identified as Jacob Blake, was taken to a Milwaukee hospital where was being treated for his injuries. Officials said he was in serious condition.
Wisconsin state officials are investigating the incident and could have findings completed within 30 days.
Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, issued a statement Monday that included the word "Enough" in white letters set against a black background.
He described Blake as "yet another Black American [who] is a victim of excessive force."
