(Louisville Courier)
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Jefferson County grand jury has indicted one of three Louisville officers in the March 13 fatal police shooting of 26-year-old Breonna Taylor.

It was announced Wednesday:

Former detective Brett Hankison was indicted on three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment.

Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly was not indicted.

Detective Myles Cosgrove was not indicted.

A wanton endangerment charge is a class D felony and carries a penalty of one to five years in prison. The charges read by Judge Annie O'Connell on Wednesday said that Hankison “wantonly shot a gun” into adjoining Apartment 3.

The occupants of that apartment were identified by initials.

None of them was BT — Breonna Taylor. That means the grand jury did not find that Hankison wantonly fired into Taylor’s apartment the night she died or that the officers are criminally liable in her death.

In May, Taylor’s neighbor, Chesey Napper, filed a lawsuit against the LMPD officers, claiming that the officers’ shots were “blindly fired” and nearly struck a man inside.

Napper was pregnant and had a child in the home, according to the lawsuit.

The judge set a $15,000 cash bond for Hankson. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Cameron said the grand jury decided homicide charges are not applicable because the investigation showed that Mattingly and Cosgrove were justified in returning deadly fire after they were fired upon by Kenneth Walker, Taylor’s boyfriend, who has said he didn’t know police were at the door.

GRA: According to Zerohedge, Target stores and similar businesses have been boarded up—as far as 15 miles away from Louisville—anticipating riots. Of course, they’ll spread quickly.

I’m wondering if Grand Rapids—former home of Taylor—will join in the crime spree. Stay tuned. --GRA
