Two More Louisville Officers Terminated over Police Killing of Breonna Taylor
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Kentucky, the Louisville Police Department has terminated two more
officers involved in the March 13 police killing of Breonna Taylor, a
26-year-old Black emergency room technician who was shot to death in her
own home. The officers are Detective Myles Cosgrove, who fired the shot
that killed Taylor, and Detective Joshua Jaynes, who prepared the search
warrant that led to the fatal raid. Former officer Brett Hankison was
indicted by a grand jury in September for wanton endangerment for
shooting into the apartment of a neighbor, but no one has been
criminally charged over Breonna Taylor's death.
