The father of Jacob Blake says he is paralyzed from the waist down, following being shot multiple times by Wisconsin police.
According to reports, Jacob Blake Sr. spoke to the Chicago Sun Times and stated there are now “eight holes” in his son’s body, and he’s paralyzed from the waist down. The doctors are unsure if the injury is permanent or not.
We previously reported that an unarmed black man by the name of Jacob Blake from Kenosha, Wisconsin was shot seven times at point blank range by police.
The shooting took place on Sunday afternoon as police responded to what was described as a “domestic incident.” Blake was reportedly breaking up a verbal altercation between two women just after 5 PM. Police fired multiple round of shots into Blake’s back as he entered the driver’s side door of an SUV, officials said. The man’s three children — 3, 5 and 8 — were in the car, a family attorney said.
Two Wisconsin officers have been placed on leave as authorities investigate the shooting of Jacob Blake.
