A former St. Louis officer broke down crying as he said he believed his fellow officers were being killed by Breonna Taylor's boyfriend when he returned fire in the wild shootout during the botched no-knock warrant raid. Ex-Louisville Metro Police Officer Brett Hankison, 45, testified on Wednesday that when officers broke through the door of Taylor's apartment on March 13, 2020, everything was pitch black. Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, fired at them with a 9mm handgun, thinking they were intruders, but Hankison said that because of the poor visibility, Walker's pose and the bright flash of the gun, he believed the officers were being shot at with an AR-15 rifle.
