Praying it’s not permanent’: Jacob Blake is paralyzed from waist down after he was shot by Kenosha police

A 29-year-old Black man who was shot in the back by Kenosha police is paralyzed from the waist down, his family’s attorney confirmed Tuesday.

“Jacob Blake currently paralyzed from the waist down. Praying it’s not permanent,” Attorney Benjamin Crump tweeted.
The nationally-known civil rights attorney is expected to meet with Blake’s family Tuesday and provide more information during a news conference this afternoon in Kenosha.
Blake was shot Sunday evening as he attempted to get into a small SUV with his three sons, ages 8, 5, and 3, inside, according to video and a statement from Crump.

A bystander’s video of the shooting quickly spread on social media. It appeared to show the officer grab Blake by the back of his shirt as he tried to get into a small SUV, then shoot him seven times at point-blank range. In the video, Blake did not appear to have anything in his hands.
