Taylor's family in a lawsuit accuses three officers, since identified as Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison and Myles Cosgrove, of"blindly firing" more than 20 shots into her apartment, surprising the 26-year-old and her boyfriend who thought the officers were burglars.
After the March 13 incident, the Louisville Metro Police Department said the officers had knocked on the door several times and “announced their presence as police who were there with a search warrant.” After forcing their way in, they “were immediately met by gunfire,” Lt. Ted Eidem said at a news conference.
Taylor was shot eight times and died. Her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, 27, was arrested and charged with assault and attempted murder on a police officer. "Breonna Taylor was sleeping while black in the sanctity of our own home," attorney Benjamin Crump said at a Wednesday press conference, adding,"we cannot continue to allow them to unnecessarily and justifiably kill our black women and escape any accountability."
Because there’s not enough death in the country right now? Did she fire at them first otherwise why did they fire? Poluce need better training, better ethics and better educations!

Her name and address was on the warrant along with surveillance photos of her home. It wasn't 'botched'. Facts matter. BreonnaTaylor
