Louisville, Kentucky Braces for Possible Announcement in State Probe of
Breonna Taylor Shooting Death

VOA News

   VOA NEWS - Officials in the U.S. city of Louisville, Kentucky are
   bracing for a possible announcement from the state's attorney general
   on whether he will charge the police officers involved in the shooting
   death of Breonna Taylor, a young Black woman, during a nighttime raid.

   Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer issued a state of emergency on Tuesday
   due to the potential for civil unrest. Interim Police Chief Robert
   Schroeder told reporters that police were erecting barricades around
   downtown Louisville this week and limiting vehicle traffic in the area.
   He has also canceled all vacations and will not approve any vacation
   requests from officers until further notice.

   The windows of several downtown buildings have been boarded up, and the
   federal courthouse and other federal government buildings have been
   closed for the week.
