Taylor, a licensed EMT, was fatally shot by police serving a search warrant of her Kentucky home on March 13, 2020.
Cameron said that none of the shots fired by Hankison struck Taylor, a certified emergency medical technician.People wait for the decision in the criminal case against police officers involved in the death of Breonna Taylor, who was shot dead by police in her apartment, in Louisville, Ky., Sept. 23, 2020.
Cameron said Taylor was shot six times, contradicting statements from lawyers for Taylor's family that she was shot eight times. He said ballistic evidence examined by the FBI showed that only one shot that hit Taylor was fatal, a .40-caliber bullet that was fired by Cosgrove. "Every day this family wakes up to the realization that someone they loved is no longer with them. There's nothing I can offer today to take away the grief and heartache this family is experiencing as a result of losing a child, a niece, a sister and a friend," said Cameron, who was appointed as a special prosecutor to investigate the case by Gov. Andy Beshear.
“This is outrageous and offensive to Breonna Taylor’s memory. It’s yet another example of no accountability for the genocide of persons of color by white police officers," the family's attorneys Benjamin Crump, Sam Aguiar and Lonita Baker said in a joint statement. Cameron said the investigation showed the officers were advised by their superiors to knock on Taylor's door in the early morning hours of March 13 and announce themselves. He said Cosgrove, Mattingly and Hankison had no involvement in the investigation nor in obtaining the warrant that led them to Taylor's apartment.
"There is no evidence to support that Sgt. Mattingly was hit by friendly fire from other officers," Cameron said, refuting a claim made in a civil suit filed by Walker."Mr. Walker admitted that he fired one shot and was the first to shoot." Taylor's family had called for criminal charges to be filed against the three officers involved in the shooting.
The reforms include requiring the police department to overhaul how search warrants are obtained, and to create an Office of Inspector General to oversee an"early-warning system" that tracks use-of-force incidents and citizens' complaints in an attempt to weed out bad officers.People listen during a speech at Jefferson Square park, Sept.21, 2020 in Louisville, Ky.
How about her boyfriend who shot first and then dove out of the way as she was initially standing behind him when he fired at police!
Pelosi and people like her are giving people an excuse to shoot police officers.
ONCE again--- loudmouth, ignorant dems have NO clue but ALWAYS manage to blame someone. Real facts are sad, but police DID announce themselves, then RETURNED fire.
her boyfriend should be charged
Sounds like peloser doesn't have a clue about criminal law and activity. Funny coming from one of the corrupt left
And her boyfriend slipped and said the reason he shot was because he thought it was Glover coming through the door.

The grand jury felt differently
george floyd was a piece of human garbage who died of a drug overdose. the cops didn’t kill him. read the autopsy.
Pelosi’s hateful rhetoric is destroying this country - unbelievable
Nothing like fanning the flames as SleepyJoe claims. The law is the law, it doesn’t change because you don’t like the outcome. That’s the problem here. The savages are trying to overthrow our way of life.
She preys on anything she could. What people don't realize is the grand jury followed the letter of the law. The grand jury can't just indict someone because they feel like it. The problem is with the particular laws that protect cops who do this. Let's focus on changing them.
Her boyfriend got her killed by shooting at the police first. He shot 7 rounds at the police striking one in the leg. If he would have not SHOT FIRST the police would have not returned gun shots and she would be alive TODAY! Ya’ll dip shits if ya say otherwise!
she was involved in drug trafficking and her boyfriend shot at the cops, blame him.
Love how you and others name the Act after a career criminal. Not denying his death was wrong, but really, he is not an icon of any stature. PanderingPelosi TermLimits
And zero pushback from MSM on what they should charge these officers. Wanting officers charged with murder and being able to legally do it are two different things.
She wasn't sleeping(was standing in hallway), there is surveillance indicating she was drug running for her ex, her current boyfriend shot the police officer first, they did have a warrant and yes they knocked and announced themselves.
