Newly-released audio recordings from the investigation into the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor reveal Louisville Police officers arrived at her home with battering rams despite it being considered a 'soft target' and cops admitting they did not 'anticipate a threat.'
Police interviews with Sergeant John Mattingly, who led the deadly late-night raid on March 13, and Taylor's boyfriend Kenneth Walker, who was at the home during the shooting, were obtained by NBC News.
None of the police officers have been charged in Taylor's death, and the new recordings reveal Sgt Jason Vance, who conducted the interviews, told Mattingly that the cops' approach was 'the most passive way in.'
In interviews with Walker, he said he and Taylor, who were watching a movie in their bedroom, shouted, 'who is it?' but did not hear a response, prompting him to grab his gun over fears of an intruder.
Walker was questioned over the incident by Sgt Amanda Seelye, at 4 in the morning, hours after the shooting.
He admitted he was 'scared about what to say', before Seeyle reassured him they just wanted to know what happened and said it would 'be good' for him to sign the waiver to get his statement.
'And then we can leave you alone,' she says. He was indicted six days later.
Walker told investigators had fired a 'warning' shot, thinking someone was breaking in, before gunfire broke out from police.
The family's lawsuit states Mattingly and the other officers serving the warrant, Cosgrove and Hankison, then began shooting 'erratically, recklessly, willfully, wantonly and maliciously from inside the home, outside the home, outside a neighbor's home, outside Breonna's patio door and outside the window to Breonna's sister's room.'
