I think it has already been determined because the calibre of KW and LE guns were different. With Mattingley the bullet hit his femoral artery. With BT one bullet (probably the fatal one) hit her main pulmonary artery between her heart and lungs. That was determined to be a bullet from Cosgrove's gun.
His attorney is the only that has said that but until they release the photos of the bullet or Mattingly's medical records for the wound, who's to know the truth? If the shot came from Walker, the entry would would be in the front of his leg, if it came from one of the other officers, it would be on the inside of the back of his leg.
I agree with you. However I don't think they could have saved her with such a fatal shot to her pulmonary artery.
The GJ must have determined that it was Walker's bullet too, or they could not have classed Mattingley and Cosgrove's actions as self defence.
Officer Hankinson who was blindly shooting into the apartment was using his police issued 9mm weapon.
Not necessarily you have to take into account that you had an officer who was shooting blindly into that apartment, I understand Mattingly feels that he took the first shot which was from KW firearm, but once the first shot was fired all hell broke loose not to mention all of the ricochet that had to be going on if you look at the photos, which is why having the FBI ballistic report released is the only way to truly answer this question since Hankinson was also using a 9mm gun and the projectile recovered from KW gun was found with no blood on it..To many questions without answers YET.
Not if that evidence was not presented to the Grand Jury, I cannot blame the GJ for their decision, but there are questions as to what evidence the AG presented to them. He has already admitted he did not tell them that the warrant application was obtained with untruthful information and information that was 2 months old.
Banging on a door is different than announcing that you are with LE. If you hear what sounds like someone breaking into your home in the middle of the night and you grab your legal weapon and come out to see the door being breached it would be normal for any homeowner to shoot in fear and to protect their family and domain. Had KW known it LE he would have not shot a warning shot. Kenneth and Breonna were not involved in illegal activities there would have been no reason for them not to comply with LE had they know that was who was at the door. There were no drugs or large amounts of cash found in her home she worked at 2 Louisville hospitals and he worked for Coca cola so there was no reason to refuse a search warrant and shoot at police unless you didn't know it was Police and felt your home was being broken into.
