We know of multiple protests going on across the region this evening. Just hours after that a grand jury ruling Authorities Say the 2 officers were shot during protests in louisville. We know one officer is in stable condition. One officer is being treated tonight. The suspect has been taken into custody. Several shots rang out as protesters tried to avoid Police Brought blockades a nighttime curfew has been in effect in the city of louisville tonight. The only charges brought by the grand jury where 3 counts of wanton endangerment against fired officer Brett Hankinson for shooting into a home next to briana taylors home that had people inside yeah that despite taylor getting shot multiple times by officers who burst into her home. On march 13th during a narcotics investigation. News Nation ReporterNichole Berlie is breaking down all of the latest developments. After 6 months of investigating an announcement from kentuckys attorney general on the briana taylors death investigation, a grand jury voted to return an indictment. Against detective hankinson for 3 counts of wanton endangerment former Police OfficerBrett Hankinson indicted by a grand jury after the attorney general said he fired 10 bullets some of which went into an apartment adjacent to briana taylors. The attorney general saying 2 other officers jonathan mattingly, and Myles Cosgrove both fired shots that march night, including what he called the fatal shot that killed 26 yearold taylor, theyre not being indicted our investigation found that mattingly in cars grove. We are justified in the use of force just a few hours after the announcement we talked to some protesters in downtown louisville where people have been gathering for months has not right. Its not right out of the houses would be arrested we didnt get justice today, honestly was not surprised i think that all what we saw today. It is historic of how black folks have been treated in our nation and ben crump attorney for taylors family writing on twitter quote if Brett Hankinson behavior constituted wanton endangerment to people in neighboring apartments. Then it should also be considered wanton endangerment a briana in fact it should have been ruled wanton murder attorney general cameron saying the investigation took months with interviews as recent as last friday, the case then presented on monday so news nation asked how long the grand jury deliberated how long did they deliver a today began on monday or to begin tuesday. And that was of this week correct. I will that they started. Early monday. In some time. Before and so they heard everything they needed to hear the attorney general says its unlikely there will be any additional charges related to the shooting and adds that he understands that some people in the community may be hurting criminal law is not meant. To respond to every sorrow and grief and that is that is true here. My heart breaks. For the loss of miss taylor. One in danger of it is a felony that carries a punishment of up to 5 years in prison and a possible 10,000 fine now i can tell you the governor has authorized a limited deployment of the National Guard and the mayor has imposed a curfew which begins at 09 00pm out here thats eastern time. The cold early news nation reporting in louisville, kentucky. A lot to unpack here for more now on todays grand jury ruling were joined by attorney paula canny up all at the decision of course leaving the family all kinds of people confused heartbroken very angry was justice served. Well in my opinion, no justice was not served but justice is a process. Its a its a difficult situation. I mean what youve got to understand about this process as attorney general cameron was the one presenting the case to the grand jury. What is presented to the grand jury usually results in the grand jury issuing indictments for one d prosecutor wide send the a charge for so clearly prosecute their attorney general cameron had already decided before he started presenting evidence that all see it was going to seek charges for was Reckless Endangerment. I mean it was a complicated case and there are so many things wrong with the criminal Justice System are shown by this. They got a search warrant to do a search at night on a persons residence over drug packages and they began it by not announcing their presence is Police Officers and breaking the door down with a battering ram i mean that crazy flat out crazy and then. You know that they didnt charge for shooting all of the officer shot their guns, i mean, and the forensic still have not been released we still dont know which fire arm. Struck the fatal blow temp briana taylor. I mean the whole thing is just a not well done it seems to have an appearance propriety i mean even the fact that the attorney general took it over from the louisville District Attorney to initiate the prosecution is troubling because i mean there are political overtones this particular Deputy Attorney general is one of the people on President Trumps list to replay throughs Bader Ginsburg. So you know his republican there definitely are political overtones to this trump has him praise for our hes handled this and good prosecutor easily could have presented sufficient evidence to at the very least how the grand jury returned an indictment or manslaughter negligent homicide implied malice murder or even in this case, Reckless Endangerment with a firearm and the other thing is yes isnt about money, but its a super low level felony. The arrest warrant issued by the jury to give you a sense of how low level what is was only 15,000 and officer fired officers already been. You know booked and released. Paula branded taylors death has become part of the National Narrative since George Floyds death about the treatment of people of color by police and now this it in your mind is there any reason to believe that. Police reform of any kind. Well come because of this. Well i want to hope there has to a Police Reform and there has to be criminal Justice Reform and there has to be you know warm about how we do so much of what we do i mean so many people make mistakes uh District Attorneys signed off on the not only what was the probable cause for the warrant, but the method of execution that judge signed off on that as well these officers then went and use that battering ram so even as the simplest things in terms of you know how you execute a search warrant. We have to take a look at that and not doing this for that years, crazy and thats a remnant of the war on drugs which should sell you know wasnt really a racially motivated thing all you have to do back is go back to the sentencing differential between crack cocaine and powder cocaine crack cocaine having greater sentence is that about her cocaine because. People believe people of color you more than the white people use powder in terms of you know use of force policies as a country not just as the state attorney can talking but absolutely as a country we have establish a uniform use of force policy for the but because what is permissible on in kentucky is not permissible another state and meet other great irony of this is so many of the use of force. Policies and procedures are actually problem gated cried cried the companies as opposed to legislative bodies. So it is so ironic that the police who seek to enforce all these roles are really probably the most unregulated of any of the main government and cities under so to be regulated. Some know its time more politicians on all of us to set rules and regulations to control the conduct. Now the police not just more the safety of citizens, but for the safety of officers. I mean this was a super dangerous incident for for everybody involved its just that no Police Officers and this instead. You know got hurt so now im an optimist and i believe that saw i believe that this is the beginning of a or movement where we you know deep parts where we dont treat everything as a criminal justice problem and the election of chess game that some people are you know were upset about in San Francisco. Theyre making real. You know efforts. 2 you know reform all aspects of the criminal Justice System some know im going to be an optimist and im gonna leave that is sad as this is. It isnt going to stay this way it we will. You know i i won justice will prevail in all take a lesson from you know a lot of the druze Bader Ginsburg who did things with fervor and commitment and grayson i i believe that we can do that as a people and i also want to say you know violence against violence isnt going to do anything and so now i believe that where and people with lots of great people in yeah were going to have meaningful reform all right were going to have to end on that all great insights and certainly well be talking about this for quite some time. I asked for joining u. S. Attorney thank you so much tonight families who have had their own loved ones killed at the hands of Law Enforcement.

Others say that protest alone may not be enough to effect the change they want to see they may have to pack the polls in order to get their message across. Whats going to need to happen is were going to have to actually push out some of these fools who are it because we have political power to the state capitol. They did just you know they they just havent they just havent done their job.

The only charges brought by the grand jury were 3 counts of wanton endangerment. Those counts against fired officer Brett Hankinson for shooting into taylors neighbors homes during the raid on her apartment. Again the counts do not address taylors death. On twitter Benjamin Crump a lawyer for taylors family called the decision quote outrageous and offensive writing that x officer hankin sons actions should have been ruled wanton murder. As we look at. Protest footage from around the country. This is providence, rhode island. Where people scale the embankment there they shut down interstate 95 in providence. Police officers were yelling get off the highway in response temen strangers were shouting Brianna Taylor as they blocked traffic on 95 there were Warnings Police say to get off and then.

Thousands of marchers you can see theyre walking through a new yorks chinatown soho east village. Also in brooklyn ny started earlier this evening.

They met at a park in charlotte and the Police Department there says about 100 people participated in the first hour and everything was peaceful. They say then protesters started putting things like signs scooters and cones set on to the streets. Blocking the road but again largely peaceful there in charlotte. I am taking a look now at protests video from a louisville kentucky, where you see some flames there this is you know ground 0 the in louisville tonight, a curfew in effect until 6. 30 in the morning. Its going to remain in place for the next 3 days. A demonstrator swarming the streets there after the aftermath of the announcement at angry and outraged that there were no charges filed in taylors death. Also we should add that Emergency Services there in louisville confirming that there were multiple shootings in downtown louisville during the protests and that too. Police officers were shot in downtown louisville, one in stable condition. The other was in surgery at last check. And bringing it back to the bay here last hour we showed you video of protesters marching towards the Mission Police station in the city.

No reports of violence will keep you posted on how things play out not only here in the bay area. But across the country tonight. And a wellknown bay area civil rights attorney the leaves the prosecutors missed a chance to hold officers accountable here but in the attorney who represents Police Officers in misconduct cases sees it differently kron fours dan kerman has reaction from both sides. The decision not to file any charges against the louisville Police Officers in the killing of Brianna Taylor. Is a missed opportunity so says bay area criminal defense Attorney John Burris all 3 of them could have been charged. When they are bought and mass slaughter even in mohnton mass start for says despite being fired on first by taylors boyfriend, the officers who fired back killing taylor were not justified and should have been charged with manslaughter. How could it be that they could find somebody shot recklessly seems to make reckless late and miss late into the building. Therefore thats why get into the whole question of recklessness they get you into a mass case that easily could have been done. I think the decision was these officers were there they were firing in defense of their own life send out. And they were firing until the threat subsided bay area attorney Michael Rains who defends Police Officers says Decision Makers were simply following the evidence and reform.

Well guys we are in the heart of downtown sacramento, just across the street from city hall and kitty corner to Cesar Chavez Park and if you take a look into the park its pretty empty right now in months past weve seen this park packed with protesters, there is one scheduled later on tonight to protest the decision that was made by the grand jury on the Breonna Taylor case and if you walk with me over here to city hall which is directly across the street we saw some sacramento Police Officers putting up barricades in preparation for whatever may take place later on this evening. Now we also got a chance to catch up with the founder of impact thats a local Nonprofit Group that fights for civil justice, not just for minorities, but for the disabled people that are mentally challenge this was her reaction to that decision earlier today take a listen.

Rowena shaddox for kron 4 news. Today the late Supreme Court justice ruth Bader Ginsburg returned to the u. S. Supreme court for one last time people gathered at the steps of the court to pay their respects. Ginsburg of course died last week at the age of 87 after a long battle with cancer. Ginsburg will be remembered for the Supreme Court cases that she won for womens rights in fact, south bay congresswoman zoe lofgren says ginsburg dramatically changed womens lives are Catherine Heenan host of inside bay area politics talked a about how ginsburg affected her life. You know i was thinking that when i graduated from college. I couldnt get a loan. Unless i had a man sign ford along with me. Remember looking in the newspaper ads for jobs after i graduated and they were advertised. Married women wanted single women wanted and mean and then men wanted i met with her on numerous occasions. She just had an amazing for someone who was a tiny person incredible stature. Just an amazing mind. And sense of humor. You know what her age with her history of cancer, we knew you know she wasnt going to be with us for decades to come but many of us didnt realize how close to the and she was so i not only. Depressed to learn that she had passed that shocked and and hadnt really. Mostly prepared myself for. Even people who didnt agree with her no one would argue the point that ginsburg was a fighter and she certainly fought throughout her whole life and on friday morning this week, the late justice his casket will be transported across the street to the u. S. Capitol where she will be the first woman to lie in state in the capitol rotunda. Meanwhile, the Senate Debate on whether to take a vote on President Trumps nomination to the Supreme Court. Most gop senators say they will vote on the nomination while democrats want to wait until after the election and just as a reminder there are 41 days to the 2020 president ial election. Kron 4 is your local election headquarters this election season. All right weather time as we take a live look outside get a check on the 4 zone forecast see see a little sliver of fog here obstructing the view but overall a pretty beautiful shot above San Francisco yeah we heard a move from you, tired of that you know the fog is just so cool looking when it comes in and then right over there just above the ground and lights is affected and certainly need sight to see no were not going to see any of that fog this weekend. Weve got some offshore winds and it is going to heat up were talking another significant heat wave rolling into the bay area these temperatures going to soar out theres were going to see hives running in the 90s even some triple digits yet expected to be a very hot weekend, especially the latter half and into early next week fire danger is going to be running high with those offshore winds. And you can see some of those gusts maybe a size 30 maybe 50 Miles Per Hour across some of the higher mountain peace now that being said weve got some watches that have been posted and parts of the east bay, a fire weather watch. Theyre also continuing to see a gusty winds in that area to 30 to 40 Miles Per Hour again this takes place this saturday through monday. So were looking further out 25 to 40 mile an hour winds, la county and in the north bay. I think those will be the strongest gusty winds. A 35 to 50 Miles Per Hour a 1000 feet on upwards so across the mountain top so watching out for that now and looking cool looking fog rolling in right now were going to see plenty of that early tomorrow morning maybe some drizzle along the coastline as the fog kind of just settles in there overnight so that being weve got a cold front that is now making its way into the west coast and you see bring in some much needed rain for all those people are dealing with the fires in oregon and washington even far Northern California seen some showers begin to move in that direction. So certainly weve got a cold front thats moving in on 40 its going to fall apart before it gets here. That means were left with just low clouds and fog in a few passing high clouds and thats about it around the bay area. Temperatures today, 67 degrees in San Francisco 78 in oakland 82 for a high in san jose 88 and lived more in concord and 85 degrees in santa rosa temperatures going to be a little bit cooler tomorrow, weve got a couple more clouds coming through and then you see a mix of sun clouds throughout the day and then warm afternoon and this weekend. We really crank up the temperatures with that offshore wind and so enjoy these numbers while we have a comfortable youll see some 80s inland 70s inside the bay and 60s along the coastline looking out in the next few days here comes that heat back to summerlike temperatures on sunday through monday back into the triple digits all right lawrence according to a new study smoke alone from the recent california. Wildfires may have killed more than a 1000 people. The stanford study found between august first in september 10th, the wildfire smoke was responsible for at least 1200 deaths of people, 65 and older who are living with preexisting medical conditions. We spoke with the lead researcher on these findings. These are in deaths that we estimate would not have occurred otherwise so the air pollution hastens the deaths of many many people who would not have that even for someone who studies air as my its a big and thats reflects how bad and how sustained the poor air quality was over a huge part of california and really the west coast for the last month again this was unprecedented exposure to pour air quality and many.
