LOUISVILLE, Ky. — According to a release from the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD), Major Aubrey Gregory has been placed on administrative assignment amid an investigation.
LMPD spokesperson Dwight Mitchell said Gregory served as a Training Unit commander and may have recently used "offensive, derogatory" language during a training session.
Gregory was one of two officers injured in a shooting September 23, 2020, a day after the decision in the Breonna Taylor case was announced. He was shot in the hip and suffered multiple wounds but returned to work a week after the shooting.
The investigation into Gregory will be conducted by personnel outside of the police department.
"The department is committed to accountability and promoting an atmosphere of inclusion and takes this allegation very seriously," Mitchell's statement reads.
