Louisville police officer Brett Hankison charged with Wanton Endangerment in deadly shooting of Breonna Taylor, a judge announced Wednesday.

A grand jury in Louisville presented its findings to a judge Wednesday afternoon.

Hankison was fired from the city’s police department June 23. 

Hankison, Sgt. Johnathan Mattingly, Officer Myles Cosgrove and the detective who sought the warrant, Joshua Jaynes, were placed on administrative reassignment after the shooting.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is planning to hold a news conference to discuss the grand jury report.
