Six Louisville Metro Police officers are under an internal investigation into their actions related to the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor, a police spokesman told ABC News.

The city of Louisville will pay $12 million to the family of Breonna Taylor and reform police practices as part of a lawsuit settlement.

Internal investigators will see if the officers violated any police policies during the incident, the spokesman said. Disciplinary action could include written reprimand and extend all the way up to termination, according to Washington.Taylor, 26, and her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, were sleeping inside their Louisville apartment when three plainclothes officers -- Mattingly, Cosgrove and Det. Brett Hankison -- attempted to execute a"no-knock" search warrant.

Walker took his licensed firearm and shot at the door, and the officers returned fire, striking Taylor eight times and killing her in her sleep, according to investigators. No drugs or drug money were found in the apartment, investigators said. Cameron has not given a timetable for when he will reveal the findings of the investigation, but the police are already preparing for it.

We all need to look a little deeper.... Boyfriend issues arrested for drugs and money but the police had no right .....

Every police shooting in America goes under IAB investigation.

ARREST.THEM. she was murdered.

The police is policing itself that’s great smh

'Internal' investigation

Oh so if the violence is EXPECTED, then it's ACCEPTED. Noted.

They should be under arrest, awaiting trial.

Please...this isn’t news. Tell us when they’ve been charged with murder!

bad facts ABC.

AkilahObviously Nothing will happen to them.

It’s about time!

They stole that child’s future and her mother’s opportunity to celebrate or see the arrival of any grand children she could have given her mother. Amazing how the Trumpsters hollar “PRO LIFE”while Trump stand for people who are killing people’s children!

😡😡😡😡

That’s like the pack of wolves investigating itself when a wolf ate a sheep. What a joke.

Imagine shooting a live weapon at cops and being surprised when they fire back

“Internal” being the operative word...

Please, they have been investigating for 6 months. I’ve seen a shorter investigation and conviction on “The First 48”. 🤨 LMPD even messing up this false narrative. SHAME! BreonnaTaylor

Protest peacefully then VOTE.

please keep things peaceful, don’t listen to these Democrats

They shouldn't even be under investigation.

Or they could just indict the officers behind the shooting of Breonna. I mean, do these people know that there is still a trial to be had?, more instances if anyone who actually wasn't at fault to prove their innocence? Anyone?

GOT TO END AND THE 'BLAME' ON OTHERS. I'm 63 and ALWAYS admitted my being wrong .

It’s already been leaked cops are goin to be cleared...no surprise! This is the country we live in Amerikkka! People should be outraged by this!

Its a bunch of idiots in the comments running they mouth and don't know the details of this horrible tragedy. The guy she was dating at the time this happened wasn't a drug dealer nether was she and he had a legal firearm. The warrantwas 4 a guy she was involved with 2 years ago.

This is nothing but a fishing expedition to appease the mob... they’re literally going back and seeing if they broke any procedure along the way.. no where is it ever going to say that what happened was murder... it was a police raid gone wrong when officers were fired upon

ava Seriously 8 months later and investigation just kicked off? Smfh!

Oh?! Under INTERNAL investigation, eh? If Breonna was white, I’m sure these cops would have been arrested immediately. The world is watching this shameful treatment.

Well her boyfriend shot first, so really he’s responsible for her death!

That’s to bad.

Charges will be dropped and that’s ridicules. Very seldom do I side with blm and the protesters but in this case the police recklessly went into a house and got in a fire fight with people defending their property. This is negligent homicide at the least.

Report on the BLM guy attacking an old lady cuz she was white and supports trump.

They need to put something up after the BLM SNIPER. They don't want to talk about that. I couldn't even find it on the news. And we're supposed to believe that he wasn't with the BLM. RIGHT.🙄

This is TOTAL BULLSHIT!!!

Pigs always protect pigs. It's just a violent gang, sanctioned by the government. Fuck the police.

Hope they're cleared.

her boyfriend shot at the cops first. she was caught in the crossfire. blame him. they’re gonna walk, and the city will burn. 🤷🏼‍♂️ good luck everyone.

EEUU does not prosper 🤦‍♂️

Some Louisville federal buildings close ahead of expected Breonna Taylor announcementSome federal buildings in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, will be closed this week in a move believed to coincide with an expected announcement by Attorney General Daniel Cameron and his office's investigation into the police killing of Breonna Taylor. Well that proves he isn’t gonna bring any charges and say they were the best cops doing the best job ever I hope the citizens show some backbone this time and stop being cowards letting people loot and burn their businesses down. What kind of coward lets people do that? Based on the warrant the officers used, and the prior drug investigation, Taylor's apartment was possibly used to traffic her boyfriends drugs. The officers were shot at prior to entering the apartment and sadly Breona was caught in the crossfire.
