The two Louisville Metro Police Department officers who were injured in a shooting Wednesday night amid protests in Louisville include a major and a Second Division officer.

LMPD Maj. Aubrey Gregory and officer Robinson Desroches were identified Thursday by department officials as the two members of Louisville's police force who were injured in the shooting, which occurred around 8:30 p.m. near Broadway and Brook Street. Both survived and are recovering, interim Chief Robert Schroeder confirmed Thursday morning.

Gregory was hit in the hip, Schroeder said, while Robinson was hit in his abdomen.

Larynzo Johnson, a 26-year-old Louisville man, was arrested near the scene minutes later and is facing two counts of first-degree assault of a police officer and additional counts of first-degree wanton endangerment, according to an arrest citation obtained Thursday morning. Schroeder said he's facing 14 counts of wanton endangerment — "all directed against police officers."

1. So stupid on so many levels.

Stupid, cruel, pointless.

Johnson only managed to get himself sent to prison for decades.
