Officers involved in Breonna Taylor's killing announced themselves as police many times before forcing entry into her apartment.

That was according to the audio recordings of Kentucky grand jury proceedings released on Friday.

The court-ordered disclosure of the recordings provides what Attorney General Daniel Cameron called "a complete picture of the events" surrounding Taylor's death. 

"Banged on the door -- no response. Banged on it again -- no response," one of the officers, Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, said in a March interview that was played before the grand jury.  

At that point, Mattingly noted that they started announcing themselves. Mattingly said officers banged "six or seven" times before forcing their way into the apartment.

Taylor was with her boyfriend during the incident.

Mattingly said that they did announce the first couple of times because their intent was not to hit the door.

"Our intent was to give her plenty of time to come to get to the door," Mattingly noted in an interview with another officer.

Cameron said the officers were justified in opening fire after Taylor's boyfriend opened the first shot, which wounded Mattingly.

Taylor's boyfriend and his lawyers have said he did not know the intruders were police.

Mattingly noted that the officers believed Taylor was "probably there alone."

After knocking multiple times and getting no response, police broke down the door and announced a "search warrant." Mattingly said he then saw a man and a woman inside about 20 feet away.

The male was in a stretched-out position with his hand on a gun.

"As soon as the shot hit, I could feel the heat in my leg, so I returned fire," Mattingly said.

Lt. Shawn Hoover told investigators in March that the raid included a "no-knock warrant," but said that they did not want to execute it that way. It was revealed in one grand jury recording.

Hoover said officers knocked multiple times before breaking down the door. He noted that they knocked on the door and said "police." He said they then waited for 10 or 15 seconds.

"Knocked again, said police, waited even longer," Hoover said in an interview.

Hoover noted that it was the third time that they were approaching and it had been like 45 seconds when he said, "Let's go. Let's breach it."

An autopsy report released by the Jefferson County Medical Examiner's Office said that Taylor died of multiple gunshot wounds. Greg Wolf testified about autopsy findings. Wolf is an investigator for the Kentucky Attorney General.

In the recordings, he said that Taylor had five gunshot wounds, but she was killed by a wound to the left upper breast.

Cameron had been given two days to redact personal information from the data before the disclosure of proceedings. He also has come under fire for his role as special prosecutor on the case.

"I'm confident that once the public listens to the recordings, they will see that our team presented a thorough case to the Jefferson County Grand Jury," Cameron noted in a statement released on Friday.

Cameron said their presentation followed the facts and the evidence, adding that the grand jury was given complete picture surrounding Taylor's death on March 13.
