(TriceEdneyWire.com) – The Louisville Metro Police Department Tuesday fired Brett Hankison, one of three officers involved in the March 13 murder of Breonna Taylor during a raid of her apartment.
Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and Police Chief Robert J. Schroeder wrote in a termination letter to Hankison, a detective, stating that he violated rules and regulations and the department’s use of force policy.
Schroeder said Hankison wildly fired a total of 10 shots, endangering Taylor’s neighbors who lived in the apartment next door.
Hankison, Sgt. John Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove, used a no-knock warrant to batter down the door to Taylor’s apartment.
The police raided Taylor’s apartment because they claimed they were looking for drugs.
