A man was shot and killed in Louisville after law enforcement said they had to "return fire" at a crowd of people.
He was identified by family members as David McAtee, a popular chef and BBQ joint owner who used to feed cops for free
Metro Council President David James says he wants answers as to why the Ky National Guard was dispatched to an area where locals hang out every night and where there was no protesting taking place.
"I hope.. a beloved figure in the community was not killed over the curfew."
