    McAtee then fired his gun twice, according to video and the ballistics study. Seconds later, Louisville police and Kentucky National Guard fire 18 shots towards McAtee, striking his chest and killing him.

      The NYTimes video investigation notes that police failed to identify themselves or give the crowd time to disperse, and failed to shoot pepper balls at the ground, all in violation of department policy. It's unclear why the National Guard was there at all to enforce curfew.
