Police in Columbus fatally shoot a girl brandishing a knife while responding to a report on an attempted stabbing.
Police in the US city of Columbus, Ohio, have shot and killed a Black teenager after confronting her while responding to a report on an attempted stabbing, according to authorities and the young woman’s family. The shooting on Tuesday came as a jury in Minneapolis announced a guilty verdict in the trial of a former police officer charged with killing George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, by kneeling on his neck during an arrest last year. At a news conference in Columbus, police released body-camera footage of the latest shooting and the city’s interim police chief, Michael Woods, said officers involved in the incident were answering an emergency call from someone who reported an attempted stabbing.
