The mayor of Louisville will be investigated by his own city council over his handling of the Breonna Taylor case and a second fatal law enforcement shooting, according to a report.

The probe will also include the mayor’s handling of the protests that wracked Louisville in the wake of the shootings, CNN reported.

Those protests continue in Louisville, and have attracted local celebrities including “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams and “Love & Hip Hop” favorite Yandy Smith, both of whom were arrested during a demonstration there Tuesday.

The Louisville Metro Council’s decision to probe “action and inaction” by Mayor Greg Fischer and his administration was made Monday, the outlet said.

There is as yet no timeline for the probe by the council’s Oversight and Audit Committee.

But the investigation will include the death of Taylor, an EMT accidentally slain in her home as police executed a no-knock warrant, and the death of David McAtee, who was shot last month as police and the Kentucky National Guard dispersed a large crowd.

Probers will subpoena Steve Conrad, the former Louisville police chief, and the current chief, CNN said.
