(CNN)Jacob Blake, who remains hospitalized after sustaining multiple injuries, is now handcuffed to his bed, his family said.

Local officials have not discussed many details about Blake's shooting but continue addressing the nightly protests in Kenosha, especially after two people at a protest were killed and a third was seriously injured this week.
A 17-year-old was arrested Wednesday and is facing multiple charges murder charges involving several people for his alleged role in a shooting incident, authorities said.
On Thursday afternoon, an all-White group of local officials held a press conference to praise peaceful protesters and discuss the law enforcement response to prevent rioting in the city.
"Last night was very peaceful," Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said. "Tuesday night -- not quite so peaceful, but it wasn't too bad. Monday night was our big night. Hopefully, we're over that hump of what we have to face."
After speaking, the Kenosha mayor, Kenosha County executive, Kenosha police chief, Kenosha County sheriff, and Wisconsin National Guard's adjutant general all declined to take questions.

Police said that about five minutes after the initial report, a dispatcher received reports of shots fired.
Officers had attempted to arrest Blake and used a Taser in a failed attempt to stop him, the DCI said. Blake walked around his vehicle, "opened the driver's side door, and leaned forward," the agency said.
Kenosha Officer Rusten Sheskey, who has been with the department for seven years, then fired seven times into Blake's back, the agency said. No other officer fired their weapon.
The agency said Blake admitted he had a knife in his possession, and law enforcement agents said they recovered a knife from the driver's side floorboard of Blake's vehicle.
State investigators did not indicate why police moved to arrest Blake, whether he brandished or threatened to use the knife, or why Sheskey shot so many times into Blake's back, and it does not mention his children in the vehicle or other family members standing just feet away.
Authorities said Sheskey and another officer have been placed on administrative leave. The other officers involved in the shooting will be identified soon, according to the state's attorney general.
Police rendered aid to Blake and he was flown to a Milwaukee hospital, police said.
Videos of the incident show a struggle between Blake and police, and Blake then walks around the front of an SUV and tries to enter the driver's side door. An officer is seen pulling Blake's tank top and seven shots are heard.
Blake's three children were in the vehicle at the time, attorney Ben Crump has said.
Earlier Wednesday, a family attorney told CNN that Blake did not have a weapon in the car.
"I can't speak directly to what he owned but what I can say is that his three children were in the car," Patrick Salvi Jr. told CNN. "That was on the forefront of his mind. That is the most important thing to him in his life -- his family and his children."

Blake's family said the shooting would likely leave him paralyzed from the waist down. They are focusing on Blake's recovery, which they expect to be slow, while demanding justice for him.
Blake's uncle said they are hopeful he may have "a great recovery."
"(His recovery) is going to be slow, it's going to be progressive, but he's a young man and he's resilient," Justin Blake said on Wednesday. "He has every chance, as anybody else, to turn things around."
