Louisville braces for Breonna Taylor case decision
Police in Louisville, Kentucky have begun preparing for another round of protests and possible unrest as the city nervously awaits the state attorney general's announcement about whether he'll charge officers in Breonna Taylor's shooting death. (Sept. 22)
One of three officers involved in the shooting death of Breonna Taylor was charged with first-degree wanton endangerment, a felony charge in Kentucky that carries up to five years in prison.
A Kentucky grand jury indicted former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison on three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment, while two other officers involved in the shooting, Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly and Detective Myles Cosgrove, were not indicted.
Activists and Taylor's family called for harsher charges, including homicide.
Taylor, a 26-year-old ER technician, was fatally shot as the three officers sprayed more than two dozen bullets into her apartment. The officers were executing "no-knock" search warrant at her apartment shortly before 1 a.m. on March 13. Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, also fired a shot.
