A Louisville police officer who shot Breonna Taylor after he was wounded by her boyfriend has said she “didn’t deserve to die”.

Sergeant Jonathan Mattingly said the 26-year-old emergency medical worker who was roused from her bed by police serving a drugs warrant “didn’t do anything to deserve a death sentence”.
