This is how Breonna Taylor's murder was first reported

874 days - Breonna’s mom said that she has been waiting for justice.

It has never left me that this is how it was first reported. Compare this narrative to what we have known to be the truth since that day, including what we found out today that they lied to get the warrant.


LMPD officer shot, woman killed during drug investigation off St. Andrews Church Road.

A Louisville Metro Police sergeant was shot and wounded and a woman was killed early Friday during a narcotics investigation near St. Andrews Church Road and Doss High School, according to authorities.

Officers were at an apartment on Springfield Drive about 1 a.m. Friday serving a search warrant as part of the narcotics investigation, according to Assistant Police Chief Josh Judah.

As officers arrived at and entered the residence, suspects shot at the officers, Judah said.

Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly was shot in the leg and taken to University of Louisville Hospital, where he underwent surgery and is expected to survive, LMPD officials said at a Friday afternoon press conference.

A female was shot and killed during the encounter after three LMPD officers returned fire, and a suspect was arrested at the scene, Chief Steve Conrad said. She was identified Sunday by the Jefferson County Coroner as Breonna Taylor, 26

Cautiously hopeful justice will prevail!! Certainly opened my eyes to the 'a few bad apples' false narrative.
