LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The former Louisville Metro Police officer who fired the shots that killed Breonna Taylor is once again policing in Kentucky.
WDRB News has learned that Myles Cosgrove has been hired by the Carroll County Sheriff's Office.
Cosgrove is one of the officers who fired shots in Breonna Taylor's apartment during the botched raid in 2020.
He was fired by LMPD in January of 2021 for violating use-of-force protocol and failing to use a body camera during the raid.
Cosgrove was not charged criminally for the Taylor raid. The Kentucky Law Enforcement Council did not revoke his police certification.
"It's unfortunate of the position that he was placed in to go through that door that night," said Scott Miller, Cosgrove's attorney. "It's unfortunate that the circumstances played out like they did and it's tragic, it's terrible. But that does not take away from the difficulty that he has been through trying to support his family over the last several years."
He is allowed to work in law enforcement as long as he is licensed.
On Monday, a handful of demonstrators from Louisville went to Carrollton to protest Cosgrove's hiring.
