A black EMT worker was shot and killed as she slept in her home after police officers “blindly fired” after executing a search warrant at the wrong home in Louisville, Kentucky, a lawsuit says.
The attorney called out the police department for not providing"any answers regarding the facts and circumstances of how this tragedy occurred."
The three officers entered Taylor's home"without knocking and without announcing themselves as police officers," the suit states. "The defendants then proceeded to spray gunfire into the residence with a total disregard for the value of human life," the lawsuit alleges."Shots were blindly fired by the officers all throughout Breonna's home."
Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer, filed the lawsuit in April in Jefferson Circuit Court alleging wrongful death, excessive force and gross negligence.
