Former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison testified Monday to a federal jury that he felt the percussion from a gunshot fired at officers before they opened fire, killing Breonna Taylor in her hallway.
Hankison was testifying at his retrial on civil rights charges that accuse him of endangering Taylor and her next-door neighbors when he fired into her sliding door and a window during a botched drug raid in 2020. His shots didn’t hit anyone but flew into a neighbor's apartment.
