The first time we're hearing from the shooter
in the Shively Animal Clinic incident,
her side of the story coming oun
a new police interrogation vide.
She will not be facing charges.
A grand jury decided she acted n
self-defense when she shot and killed
an employee at the Animal Hospi.
The Commonwealth Attorney's
Office says Trent Taylor,
the 21 year old who was killed,
was the initial aggressor.
The office points to video evide
and several witness statements
showing he initiated various levels of
violent force prior to the shoo.
But now we're hearing the shoot.
Side describing to police the
moment she pulled the trigger.
A lot happened before that mome,
as we've been seeing in these videos.

is joining us right now.
She spent the day looking over
this new interrogation video tht
we've obtained and body Bobby,
what started this interaction t?
It was Mother's Day on a
Sunday when this happened.
Exactly. Now she says that she just came
in because she was worried about her dog.
She didn't expect it to get hea.
She does admit that she was emotional
as she's been trying to call the clinic,
try to get answers about her do,
but she says she didn't expect
the altercation to turn deadly.
So mammy's deceased.
Several minutes of sobs and labd
breaths after the woman accused
of shooting 21 year old Trent
Taylor in May learned he died.
Taylor was an employee at the Shively
Animal Clinic where the shooting took place,

the Commonwealth's Attorney's

WHAS 11 is blurring her face and not using
her name because she was not indicted.
She starts by explaining that her dog was
sick and she took him back to the clinic.
Unsuccessful results The first e
I came back on Saturday and
I'm like, it's an emergency.
She says The clinic told her thy
would keep the dog overnight.
She agreed and acts if she could call

I have PTSD bipolar and PTSD

not gotten an answer all night,
the woman, anxious now,
says she calls at 7:30 in the
morning and someone answered
and hung up without providing.
An update on her dog's conditio.
She says at 9:30 she called again and it
was told that her doctor would be in touch.
Around 4:30 she says she got a l

In the after hours fee was $150.
The clinic closes at 4:30 on Sundays,

So I'm getting there.
I'm visibly upset at this point.
I'm not yelling to screaming,
but I'm visibly upset. She
says She was then told she would have
to wait an hour for her dog's release.
Frustrated, but she says.
Still speaking calmly,
she says she tells the woman.
In scrubs that she wants her dod
she wasn't paying for the servie
because she wasn't happy with i.
And she's like,
we're gonna call the shadow.
The Police Department,
I said please call them,
call them now. After
that, she says the staff started
discussing the situation and she stuck
her foot in the doorway to hear them.
So I'm sending a doorway.
Bloody comes up, she pushes me.
I said she just put hands on me.
So my wife is like,
who put the hands on you?
My calm down, calm down. She
says Taylor pushed her again and
that's when her wife got involv.
After that altercation,
video shows Taylor running outs,
then coming back.
To swipe at the shooters purse
while she was rummaging through.
The couple then goes toward ther

and begins fighting with her wi.
At this point, I'm going to defend us.
I'm going, I'm going to shoot because you,
you just beat both of us.
You just beat down the both of .
I didn't threaten anybody before that.
I didn't pull my gun out,
she tells the detective.
She also didn't tell anyone she
had a gun and it was hidden
in her purse. Minutes later,
she demonstrates how she shot Taylor.
He's beaten out of her,
beating her to the wall.
So I'm grabbing.
I'm standing this way like the chair.
I'm grabbing her up like this,
trying to pull her away from hi.
And then I just, I just hurry up
and did because I didn't know.
Like I panicked.
I didn't know what else to show.
It was a close range when you did it,
It was close range, she
says she and her wife were left with.
Bruises and cuts on their faces.
