One of the police officers involved in serving a search warrant to Breonna Taylor’s home in Louisville was indicted on Sept. 23, but the two others weren’t charged because their use of force was justified, Kentucky’s attorney general announced.

Detective Brett Hankison, Sgt. Jon Mattingly, and Detective Myles Cosgrove served the warrant in the early hours of March 13.
