FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) Kentucky's attorney general asked for patience Thursday as his office investigates the shooting death of a black woman by Louisville police and decides whether the police officers involved will face criminal charges.
Attorney General Daniel Cameron declined to publicly set a timetable for completing his investigation into the death of Breonna Taylor. Protesters in Louisville and across the country have demanded justice for Taylor and other African Americans killed by police in recent weeks.
Cameron, who is African American, is tasked with determining whether state charges will be brought against the three officers involved. They have been placed on administrative reassignment while the shooting is investigated amid a clamor for speedy results.
I can assure you that we understand the urgency, we understand the public outcry and we understand the need for the truth and the desire for justice, Cameron said at a news conference. He briefly expressed his condolences to Taylors family, saying hes heartbroken by their loss.

2. No warrant from a magistrate or a judge.
3. Shot an unarmed woman -- Can't call it collateral damage.
4. How about extra punishment for killing an essential worker?
Remember this? From last year.

Former Dallas police Officer Amber Guyger was found guilty of murder Tuesday for fatally shooting her neighbor, Botham Jean, after thinking he was an intruder when she mistakenly entered his apartment.
Guyger, who has been out on a $300,000 bond, faces a maximum of life in prison. She was not immediately taken into custody and the sentencing phase in her trial began Tuesday afternoon with opening statements from Jean's mother.
A gasp could be heard in the packed courtroom when state District Judge Tammy Kemp read the jury's decision. Jean's family later walked out crying and embracing, many wearing red the victim's favorite color.
