Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced Wednesday that there will be no charges filed against two of the Louisville police officers involved in the shooting of Breonna Taylor, while the third is being charged with “wanton endangerment.”
Detective Brett Hankison, the officer who shot Breonna Taylor, has been indicted on three counts of “wanton endangerment in the first degree” by a grand jury.
Wanton endangerment is a Class D felony, punishable by one to five years in prison.
Chaos immediately erupted after charges were announced.
A man pulled a gun and was subdued by a crowd.
Then a protest began to form…
Breonna Taylor protesters ran over to a parked U-Haul containing supplies for a (possibly violent) demonstration.
According to the reporter on the scene, the U-Haul contained signs, shields, water etc.
