Overview
- Katelyn Hall, 28, was killed Friday during a police response to a mental-health crisis at an east Louisville apartment after officers forced open a bathroom and said she charged them with a sharp object.
- Officers Robert Baker and Robert Gabbard fired multiple shots, according to LMPD, and both are on administrative leave while the Public Integrity Unit investigates.
- Chief Paul Humphrey said Wednesday the department is working to release body-camera video by Friday and noted officers do not view their footage before giving statements.
- Hall’s family said they have not seen the video and reject the police account, with a cousin saying the shooting felt like murder.
- City leaders said dispatchers did not send a crisis team because a weapon and other people were present, and the mayor is weighing a co-responder model that pairs clinicians with police on higher-risk calls.
