Police responded to a shooting call at about 23:45 pm on Tuesday 25 August.
The victim was rushed to hospital with “serious but not life-threatening injuries,” police said.
According to the report, the investigation of the shooting is ongoing, and the names and ages of the victims have not yet been released.
Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said police are investigating whether the shooting was the result of a conflict between demonstrators and a group of men with guns who defended the factories.
The protests began days after police fired multiple shots at Blake, a 29-year-old black, as he tried to get into the SUV where his children were sitting.

Ben Crump, a civil rights lawyer representing the family, said police shot Blake after he tried to end an argument between the two women. The police did not provide any information about what led to the shooting.
Two officers were sent on administrative leave. The shooting is being investigated by Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Gravely and the Wisconsin Justice Department's Criminal Investigation Division, police said.
The Governor of Wisconsin declared a state of emergency on Tuesday, August 25, after cars and buildings were set on fire, and called on 250 National Guard members to help. Blake remains in the hospital, but his family says he is paralyzed from the waist down. The family attorney said it would take a "miracle" for Blake to ever walk again.
