The chief of police in Louisville, Kentucky 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 “no-knock” arrest warrant that targeted the wrong house.
“Your actions displayed an extreme indifference to the value of human life when you wantonly and blindly fired ten rounds into the apartment of Breonna Taylor on March 13, 2020,” Schroeder wrote. “I find your conduct a shock to the conscience.”
