Well, here's an interesting twist. Breonna Taylor isn't named in the indictment - meaning apparently his wanton endangerment didn't involve killing her. The officer is charged with wanton endangerment during this incident because he shot into a nearby apartment, apparently harming no one.
This charge isn't about Taylor's death at all.
I can't IMAGINE anyone going to prison for being careless with a gun when no harm occurred to anyone out of that behavior.
Poor Louisville hunker down folks board up your windows and get out those rifles.
We are one county away and we plan on staying home this evening. Fort Knox has already told soldiers that unless they live in Louisville it is off limits for at least 24 hours.

Here is the announcement. I didn't see if someone had already posted it.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A former detective with the Louisville police department has been indicted on felony charges of wanton endangerment after shooting into the apartments next door to Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old EMT who was killed in her own home by police.
Brett Hankison, who was fired in June, is facing three felony counts and bail was set at $15,000. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Two other officers involved in the shooting, Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly and Detective Myles Cosgrove, were justified in their use of force, state Attorney General Daniel Cameron said at news conference. All three fired their weapons at Taylor's apartment.

"Before charges were brought, Hankison was fired from the city’s police department on June 23. A termination letter sent to him by interim Louisville Police Chief Robert Schroeder said the white officer had violated procedures by showing “extreme indifference to the value of human life” when he “wantonly and blindly” shot 10 rounds of gunfire into Taylor’s apartment in March."
So he blindly shot his weapon. Good he deserves to be let go and charged.
