Police shot woman during search

-

The boyfriend of a Kentucky woman shot by police in her home told a 911 operator “somebody shot my girlfriend” after officers burst into the apartment. The 911 call Kenneth Walker made after Breonna Taylor was shot during a warrant search by Louisville police was released to media outlets yesterday. Taylor, a 26-year-old black emergency medical tech, was shot eight times on March 13 after narcotics detectives knocked down the front door. No drugs were found in the home. Prosecutor­s said last week that after police fired into the apartment, they retreated from the area and that’s when Walker called 911. Federal and state officials are reviewing the police department’s internal investigat­ion of the shooting, which was completed last week.
