LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Just after midnight March 13, three Louisville police officers fired more than 20 bullets into Breonna Taylor's apartment, striking her five times.

But she didn't die — not right away.

For at least five minutes, she struggled, coughing for breath, according to her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, who told investigators she was alive as he called her mom and yelled for help.

" (Police are) yelling like, 'Come out, come out,' and I'm on the phone with her (mom). I'm still yelling help because she's over here coughing and, like, I'm just freaking out," Walker said in a recorded police interview 3 hours after the shooting.

their number one priority is to go home to their families safe every night.

It has become not only their number one priority, it's their only priority.

Makes me sick again. Its just all so stupid and unnecessary.

I am wondering about this quote from one cop into dispatch: "F (female) inside with gun kicked under the bed." The only gun I've ever heard about was what the boyfriend had.
