A police firearms instructor said Louisville officers are trained to identify a target before firing weapons in a threatening situation as testimony continued in the trial of a former officer charged in the raid that left Breonna Taylor dead.
Former Louisville police detective Brett Hankison is charged with firing into a neighbor's apartment during the botched March 2020 narcotics raid. Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, was fatally shot by two other officers after Taylor's boyfriend fired a shot that hit an officer who had burst through the front door.
