JOHN’S STORY
On March 13, 2020, Sgt. Mattingly garnered national attention when he sustained a gunshot during the execution of a search warrant at the residence of Breonna Taylor. The subsequent events, marked by widespread protests, a murder for hire plot against his family, and global scrutiny, were further intensified by the subsequent death of George Floyd.
Recognizing the importance of transparency, John responded by authoring the nationally bestselling book, “12 Seconds in the Dark.” This compelling work serves to dispel misconceptions surrounding the events, contributing to a more accurate understanding of the circumstances.
“A civilizational defining event. The Breonna Taylor incident has been used by activist groups as a rallying cry…the problem, is what most people think of what happened there…most of it is a lie. John Mattingly has a new book to tell us the truth.”

Just minutes earlier, it was just another day of looking for a murder suspect that our unit was tasked with. As we left the 2nd Division, a call came out over the radio. There was a shooting involving a small child. We were only about a minute away and were the first to arrive at the scene. We heard a TV on in the front room as we approached the house. With guns drawn, we banged on the door and announced our presence. There was no answer initially. In these situations, you pray it was just a prank call. As the relief was setting in, we saw a small boy peeking out the window. We waved at the little guy and asked him to come open the door. I could see the fear in his wide eyes. At this point, my heart sank…
