Breonna Taylor’s BF Says Police Told Him It Was “Unfortunate” He Wasn’t Shot
There are so many disturbing aspects about what happened to Breonna Taylor that we don’t even know where to start.
Kenneth Walker, Taylor’s boyfriend, is speaking out about what happened to her, opening up in an interview with Gayle King for CBS This Morning where he divulges even more disgusting details about that night.
Among other things, Walker says that a police officer told him it was “unfortunate” that he was not struck with bullets.

“I thought they was coming for help because I called 911 [after they barged through the door],” said Walker to Gayle King. “So, when I go outside, there’s guns pointed at me and I’m being threatened with dogs and whatever else. An officer asked me was I hit by any bullets and I said no. He said ‘that’s unfortunate’, so that threw me off too. What does he mean by that?”
Walker says earlier on that when they heard a “loud bang” at the door, they asked who was there. He alleges that none of the officers identified themselves when he and Breonna called out several times.
“If they had knocked on the door and said who it was, we could hear them,” says Walker. “I’m a million percent sure that nobody identified themselves.”

Walker claims that, after the knock, they went to put on clothes to see who was there, and Walker grabbed his gun, which he was licensed to carry. “That was the one time I had to use it,” he says. “And if it was the police at the door and they just said ‘we’re the police’, me or Breonna didn’t have a reason at all not to answer the door and see what they wanted.”
He says that he fired one shot after the door flew off the hinges, believing that if somebody was trying to break in, they would “not want to do anything after that”. Then, he describes the barrage of gunfire, comparing it to what “war probably sounds like”.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”
Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.
“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.
But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
