Louisville, Kentucky, is under a state of emergency as prosecutors are expected to announce if police officers who killed a black woman in her home during a drug raid will be charged. Mayor Greg Fischer said he had declared the measure "due to the potential for civil unrest". Breonna Taylor, 26, a hospital emergency room technician, was shot multiple times on 13 March. Her name has become a rallying cry for anti-police brutality protesters. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is expected to announce any day whether his office will bring charges.
