In a tweet Saturday, President Joe Biden called Taylor's death “a tragedy, a blow to her family, her community, and America." Police had a no-knock warrant but said they knocked and announced their presence before entering Taylor’s apartment, a claim some witnesses have disputed.

The Louisville Metro Police Department has formally fired two of the officers involved in the March police raid that killed emergency medical worker Breonna Taylor. Cosgrove was fired for violating the department's deadly force policy, according to a termination letter obtained by CBS News. In the termination letter, Gentry cited Cosgrove's statements to internal investigators in which he described seeing a "distorted shadowy mass" and "flashes of big light." "The shots you fired went in three different directions, indicating you did not verify a threat or have target acquisition," Gentry wrote. In her letter to Cosgrove, Gentry wrote the detective failed to follow procedure when he didn't activate his body camera.

Tyler Perry has donated $100,000 to the legal defense fund of Breonna Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, after police fatally shot Taylor inside her apartment earlier this year.

Walker told "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King that he asked police to identify themselves several times, but never got an answer. Three officers fired a combined 32 shots into the apartment, with "bullets coming in every direction," Walker said. Police charged Walker with attempted murder of a police officer, but never told him directly that Taylor was killed.

An officer involved in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor has filed a civil suit against the 26-year-old's boyfriend for emotional distress, assault and battery on the night she was killed.

Walker, a licensed gun owner who said he thought the officers were intruders, allegedly fired a shot that hit Mattingly in the leg. Walker subsequently sued the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department and also sought immunity based on the state's "Stand Your Ground" law. Dozens showed up in pouring rain and bitter cold Thursday night for a "Say her name" march, reports CBS Louisville affiliate WLKY-TV.
