Louisville police officer involved in Breonna Taylor shooting to be fired, mayor says


One of the three Louisville police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor will be fired, the city’s mayor announced Friday. Mayor Greg Fischer said interim Louisville Police Chief Robert Schroeder has started termination proceedings for officer Brett Hankison. Two other officers remain on administrative reassignment while the shooting is investigated. Taylor, who was black and studying to be a nurse, was fatally shot by officers who burst into her Louisville home using a no-knock warrant, according to the Associated Press. The Justice for Breonna Taylor Act would prohibit federal law enforcement officers from forcibly entering a home without announcing their purpose for executing the warrant and their authority.
