CHICAGO, July 19 (APP/AFP) – The family of an
Australian woman killed by US police after making an emergency call is complaining that authorities have left them in the dark about how the shooting happened.
Scrutiny intensified Tuesday into the death of Justine Damond, who
was killed late Saturday by a police officer responding to her emergency call of a possible assault in an alleyway near her home in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Community leaders and family members spoke out even as the Minnesota
Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which is investigating the shooting, said little about the case.
The bureau planned to release more information after interviewing the
two officers involved in the incident, both of whom were on standard administrative leave.
The medical examiner’s office conducting the autopsy said Damond, a
40-year-old meditation and life coach who had moved to Minneapolis to marry her fiance, died of a gunshot.
