'Family of Kentucky EMT shot by police executing search warrant files lawsuit
[FoxNews] The family of an EMT who was asleep in her Kentucky apartment when police executed a search warrant the family claims was at the wrong address has filed a lawsuit accusing officers of firing more than 20 shots into Breonna Taylor's home.
The 26-year-old aspiring nurse was killed on March 13 after being shot eight times by Louisville police officers.
Her mother, Tamika Palmer, said she filed the lawsuit to get justice for her daughter.
"I want them to say her name," she told The Washington Post. "There's no reason Breonna should be dead at all."
The lawsuit, filed late last month, accuses the officers of wrongful death, excessive force and gross negligence.
According to court documents, the officers executed a drug warrant at Taylor's home, searching for a male suspect who didn't live in her apartment complex and had already been detained by authorities when the police officers stormed in.
