'Circumstances made it unsafe to take a single shot,' according to an internal report.

Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, one of the officers who burst through her apartment in Louisville, speaks to ABC News for the first time publicly about that fateful night.shows two investigators determined that none of the officers involved in serving a 2020 narcotics warrant at the 26-year-old's apartment should have fired their gun, but the findings were contradicted by senior officials in the Louisville Metro Police Department, according to a new report from two investigators.

Meyer made a preliminary finding that Louisville police Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, who was shot in the leg during the incident, and former officers Myles Cosgrove and Brett Hankison all allegedly violated department use-of-force policy by ignoring the significant risk of hitting someone who did not pose a threat, the internal report reads.

While Walker was not injured in the shooting, Taylor was shot six times, including at least once by Mattingly, according to Meyer's report. Gentry wrote in a memo that Mattingly identified Walker as having a gun in his hand, posing"an immediate threat of death or serious injury to an officer." Mattingly, 48, informed the police department in April that he plans to retire on June 1, according to a department spokesperson.Kentucky State Attorney General Daniel Cameron determined that Cosgrove and Mattingly were justified in their use of deadly force because Walker fired the first shot. Due to that finding, Cameron said prosecutors did not recommend homicide charges to the grand jury.

I don’t buy this officer’s account. It smacks of prejudice

Yeah well she knew what she was getting into when she chose that path of shacking up with high profile, very violent, fun-toting, ugly ass thug drug dealers. She knew her mortality chances greatly increased simply by the nature of the lifestyle. Don’t blame the police.

No shit

She sold Fentanyl. Wonder if her customers got this much consideration when they died.

My bet is the investigators are black and BLM supporters

Yea you didnt need to be an investigator to see that went sideways. The pd were firing into the dark/unseeable areas. Her bf was reacting like a homeowner w/a gun firing towards the intruder(s). That was a shitshow everyone will carry with them.

Alternatively, her boyfriend shouldn't have fired out of the home.
