Louisville cop who fatally shot Breonna Taylor wants his job back. The Louisville Metro Police Merit Board in Kentucky will begin to hear the case Tuesday of the former detective who was fired after he fatally shot Breonna Taylor and is now trying to win his job back.

Three officers fired a total of 32 rounds during the fatal encounter. The FBI later concluded Cosgrove fired the fatal shot.
