(Frankfort, KY) — A Kentucky grand jury is charging one of the officers in the Breonna Taylor case. Former detective Brett Hankison was changed with three counts of wanton endangerment in the first degree. He allegedly opened fire through the window and patio door. The other two officers who shot toward Taylor and her boyfriend were not charged. Taylor died in the early morning hours of March 13th. Police were there on a no-knock warrant to search her home for drugs and cash as part of an investigation into a former boyfriend. The city of Louisville agreed to a 12-million dollar settlement with Taylor’s family.
