Two officers involved in the Breonna Taylor shooting are to be fired later this week

C1 3 soon be off the job.

The louisville metro police department has reportedly told detectives myles cosgrove and detective joshua jaynes they will soon be fired.

Reporter jerrica valtierra has reaction from louisville.
