Audio of the frantic 911 call made in the aftermath of the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor has been obtained by an attorney for Taylor's family.
Louisville's dispatch agency, MetroSafe, rejected a Courier Journal records request for the 911 recordings from Taylor's apartment that night. An appeal with the attorney general's office is pending, and a Metro Council resolution likely to be voted on Thursday evening calls on Mayor Greg Fischer's administration to release the recording.
"It's important to get as many facts out to the public as possible so that they can digest the information and what did or did not happen – right or wrong – using factual information," Metro Council President David James, D-6th District, told The Courier Journal on Thursday.Taylor, 26, was shot and killed by Louisville Metro Police officers as they attempted to enter her home on a search warrant relating to a narcotics investigation.
