“My eyes went straight to the barrel of his gun,” Sgt. Jason Mattingly, who was shot once by Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, during the deadly police raid, told "Good Morning America."
An anonymous grand juror from the Breonna Taylor case has taken issue with the way Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron characterized their charging decision against Louisville police officers involved in her death.
Violence and gunfire erupted on the streets of Louisville — including two police officers being shot — after a grand jury decision not to charge any officers with Breonna Taylor's death.
Officer Brent Hankinson, who was fired from the Louisville Police Department following Breonna Taylor’s fatal shooting in March, has been charged with three counts of wanton endangerment, but some activists say that's not enough.
“We must not lose focus on what the real job is, and with that being said, it’s time to move forward with the criminal charges, because she deserves that and much more,” Breonna Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer, said.
The Louisville Police Department stated that Officer Brett Hankinson demonstrated “extreme indifference to the value of human live” in the encounter that left EMT Breonna Taylor dead in her own apartment.
