POLICE CHIEF SET TO FIRE OFFICER IN TAYLOR SHOOTING

The chief of police in Louisville, Ky., said on Friday he intended to fire one of three officers involved in the shooting death of Breonna Taylor, a Black woman killed in a burst of gunfire when drug investigators mistakenly entered her home.

Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician, was killed on March 13 after three officers entered her apartment bearing a “noknock” arrest warrant that targeted the wrong house.

In a letter to Det. Brett Hankison posted on Twitter, Louisville Metro Police Department Chief Robert Schroeder said he intended to fire the officer for violating standard procedures when he used deadly force upon entering the apartment.
