One of the audio recordings released by the attorney general's office in the Breonna Taylor case is that of former officer Brett Hankison's interview with the Louisville Metro Police Department's public integrity unit.Hankison is the only officer who was indicted in the investigation. His three counts of wanton endangerment stem from the shots that he fired during the raid that went into a neighboring apartment where a family lived.Hankison was fired over the summer for misconduct the night of the raid.The grand jury in the probe was played the PIU recording of Hankison on Sept. 22. Hankison was interviewed by the PIU on March 25.Hankison tells the PIU that the night of the raid 맥스카지노� March 13 맥스카지노� was his regular day off work, but that he volunteered to join because he was a K-9 officer and the Placed-Based Investigations was planning to execute warrants at the apartment complex where Taylor lived.Hankison's interview is part of file BT Sept. 22 - 1. Listen to it here.During his interview, Hankison explains that he believed the individual who was firing at officers 맥스카지노� later identified as Kenneth Walker (boyfriend of Breonna Taylor) 맥스카지노� was armed with an AR-15, or some type of long rifle.Hankison tells the PIU he believed this because of his previous training and experiencing with the sorts of firearms. He said the apartment was dark when the officers busted through the front door, but that he could make out a figure that appeared to be holding what he thought was an AR-15.The former LMPD officer also explains that he heard a loud noise, and that the way the individual was holding the firearm led him to believe he was holding an AR-15.Hankison tells the PIU that the officers at the front of the raid spent about 30 to 40 seconds knocking before they rammed into Taylor's apartment on Springfield Drive.Hankison said he felt trapped when the officers made their way into the apartment and were met with gunfire. At this point of the interview, he explains his reasoning behind why he believed the individual firing at them was armed with an AR-15.Hankison explains that he spun back out once the gunfire began and back into the parking lot. He said he could still see muzzle flashes from the outside.He also explains how he could hear the officers saying that an officer was wounded, later identified as Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly. At this point in the interview, Hankison appears to be audibly emotional as he's describing Mattingly wounded.Hankison says the gunfire then began to escalate. That's when he explains that he began to return fire from the outside into the sliding windows, where he said he could see flashes from the gunfire.He said when he returned fire, that's when the firing stopped.During his PIU interview, he explains that Kenneth Walker made his way out of the apartment, where he told officers his girlfriend was dead in the apartment.Hankison tells PIU that he believed they might have come into a situation where Walker's girlfriend was already dead when they arrived. This is around the 31:50 mark of the recording."Immediately, my mind was like, did we come into something that already happened," Hankison told the PIU about what he believed might have occurred. "Did him and his girlfriend 맥스카지노� did he kill his girlfriend prior (inaudible) that's kind of what my mind at the time thought."Hankison said Walker told officers, "No. She was shooting at you with her '9,' or her 9 mm." He told PIU that Walker told them, "she was the one that shot at us. And that she was dead in the apartment."Hankison said Walker was then transported from the scene. It was then that SWAT arrived and began clearing the scene.This is the first time we've heard Hankison's interview with the PIU following the March shooting.In an interview with PIU the night of the incident, Walker said he and Taylor heard someone beating on the door and asked who it was but did not get a response. When police entered the apartment, Walker said he fired one shot, believing intruders were breaking into his girlfriend's home.Walker's attorneys claim he acted in self-defense and that his actions are protected by Kentucky's "stand your ground law."Walker was interrogated and arrested the night of the shooting and charged with attempted murder of a police officer the following day. He was jailed and then released on home incarceration two weeks later.It wasn't until May that the charge was dropped without prejudice. Commonwealth's attorney, Tom Wine, said then that he believed more should have been presented to the grand jury and the case would be dismissed for now.He also said charges could be refiled. Walker's attorneys filed a lawsuit that seeks to prevent that from happening.Romines claimed Walker's arrest was an attempt by police to justify Taylor's death.Romines also said it's entirely possible that the shot that struck Sgt. Jon Mattingly came from another officer instead of Walker. They said they won't know until they see the ballistics report, which has recently been received by the attorney general's office."We think it is much more likely that one of the 34 to 45 shots fired by LMPD is what struck Officer Mattingly," Romines said.
