HOOVER, Ala. (AP) — Three people have been arrested in the continuing protests over the fatal police shooting of a black man inside Alabama's largest shopping mall on Thanksgiving night, authorities said Monday.
Two men were arrested Sunday on disorderly conduct charges after a protest that briefly shut down an interstate highway. A woman was arrested Thursday after someone was seen throwing Christmas ornaments into traffic in Hoover, where the shooting occurred.
News outlets reported the woman allegedly told authorities she was doing it as part of the protests seeking justice for Emantic "EJ" Bradford Jr., who was killed by a police officer who mistook him for the gunman in a shooting that wounded two people in the Riverchase Galleria.

"We have consistently stated that we will not allow roads and highways to be blocked by protesters because it is hazardous and jeopardizes the safety of all citizens and visitors to Hoover," said the statement.
