SWAT commander Lt. Dale Massey told police investigators he "had no idea" there was going to be a raid of Taylor’s apartment that night.
"We should have knowledge of what they’re doing. We treat safety very important, right? So, like simultaneous warrants, they’re bad business"

Massey described a "chaotic scene" where the three officers who fired their weapons were "still in the mix," walking around instead of being isolated, as required under the department’s standard operating procedures.
And Massey said he noticed police had shot through windows with blinds drawn, meaning officers were firing blindly.
"It was just an a- egregious act. … It seemed like the – there was no target identification whatsoever for those rounds that were shot outside the apartment."
