Lawyers for Taylor’s family and her boyfriend Kenneth Walker, who was with Taylor that night, say they did not. Walker said he thought he was witnessing a home invasion, prompting him to pick up his gun and fire a shot that hit an officer in the leg after a battering ram plowed through the apartment’s door.
Police responded by firing more than 20 times. Taylor was hit by eight rounds. According to an affidavit filed by Walker’s defense lawyer Rob Eggert: “You could look through one of the bullet holes and see into the next-door apartment.”
“It was incredible that Ms Taylor was the only one killed,” he added later in the document.
No drugs were found. Taylor died. Walker was arrested and charged with the attempted murder of a police officer and first-degree assault. Three officers involved were reassigned pending an investigation. “If this was another community, another household in a more affluent community, lightning would strike and thunder would groan” if such a warrant were issued, Crump said.
Walker, Crump said, believed the police “were committing a home invasion. Don’t African Americans have the right to the second amendment? He was trying to protect Breonna. He was trying to protect himself.” On Tuesday, a Democratic Senate candidate, Mike Broihier, tweeted: “If you’re African-American in this country, you can be killed by police, or ex-police, or wannabe-police, and people will say you were ‘no angel.’ As an EMT, Breonna Taylor saved lives. Who, if not her, is an angel?” Quotes direct from Josh Woods article in The Guardian.
