Johnson was accused of shooting at police officers on Sept. 23 during protests held after a grand jury process led by State Attorney General Daniel Cameron produced no charges involving the shooting of Taylor by police. Instead, prosecutors announced a single officer had been indicted on charges of wanton endangerment for firing into a home next to Taylor’s.
A press release from Commonwealth's Attorney Thomas B. Wine said Johnson endangered protesters while wounding two officers. Louisville Metro Police Officer Robinson Desroches was shot in the abdomen and Maj. Aubrey Gregory was shot in the hip. Both officers have since recovered.
