LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Six months after Breonna Taylor was fatally shot by police in her Kentucky apartment, a grand jury delivered a long-awaited answer about whether the officers would be punished.
The jury on Wednesday did charge one of the officers, Brett Hankison, with three counts of wanton endangerment for firing shots that went into another home with people inside.
But jurors didn't indict any of the officers on charges directly related to Taylor's death. The jury relied on evidence presented to it by Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron.Cameron said the other two officers were justified in firing their weapons because Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, had fired one shot at them.Along with the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota,.
