(Frankfort, KY) - Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is calling the death of Breonna Taylor a tragedy.
A grand jury has indicted former Louisville police detective Brett Hankison with three counts of wanton endangerment in the first degree. He is being charged with shooting into the apartment behind Taylor's home. Cameron said Hankison fired ten times.
The attorney general said Jonathan Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove were justified in firing their weapons after they were shot upon. They fired 22 shots. Six of them hit Taylor, but only one of those was fatal. Cameron said the investigation determined Cosgrove fired the fatal shot.
Cameron said he put aside his personal emotions while considering charges against the three police officers who fired their weapons the night Taylor died. He said the FBI will consider if any civil rights violations of law took place.
