WASHINGTON - In the dark of night on March 13 in the city of Louisville, in Kentucky, police officers on a drug raid used a battering ram to enter the apartment of Ms Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician, who was asleep at the time with her boyfriend beside her.
They exchanged gunfire with Ms Taylor's boyfriend, who had a licence to carry a firearm and believed them to be intruders. Ms Taylor was shot eight times and died at home.
