One officer indicted by grand jury in Breonna Taylor killing

Athletes across multiple sports expressed frustration about Wednesday's grand jury decision in Kentucky not to move forward with charges against any officers for their roles in the death of Breonna Taylor.

A grand jury in Louisville indicted one police officer for shooting into neighboring apartments. Officer Brett Hankison was charged with three counts of wanton endangerment in connection to the police raid that resulted in the death of Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, on the night of March 13.

Neither the grand jury nor the presiding judge elaborated on the charges. Bond was set at $15,000 for Hankison.
