More protests and more violence overnight in cities across the country.

In louisville... the protests turned deadly.

Our affiliate there w-h-a-s t-v reporting mayor greg fischer has fired police chief steve conrad after announcing officers involved in a deadly shooting during protests last night were not wearing or did not activate their body cameras, meaning there was no footage of the shooting.

Conrad announced recently he planned to retire at the end of the month...that has been moved up with his firing.

An interim chief has already been appointed.

Before he was fired...conrad said officers and national guard soldiers were called to break up a large crowd that had gathered past curfew around 12:15 this morning... when someone in the crowd started shooting at them.

Conrad says officers and soldiers fired back.... killing a man in the crowd.
