Two police officers have reportedly been shot in Louisville, where the officers who killed Breonna Taylor were cleared of criminal charges

Demonstrators outside of Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Photo: Getty Images On Wednesday, a grand jury in Kentucky announced that none of the officers who shot and killed Breonna Taylor would face criminal charges, though one detective, Brett Hankinson, was indicted on three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment — because the shots he fired went through Taylor’s apartment and into the home of a pregnant neighbor. The two other officers in the homicide will face no charges.
