An Australian woman who was living in Minnesota and engaged to be married next month was shot dead by police — after she called 911 to report a disturbance behind her house.

Three sources with knowledge of the incident said that when they arrived, the officers pulled around back and were immediately confronted by Damond, who was in her pajamas.
As she attempted to speak to the cop in the driver’s seat, the other officer apparently unholstered his gun and started blasting — striking her through the driver’s side door, the sources said.

No ambiguity at all.
No disagreement here.
We have a name...
“Multiple sources have confirmed to KSTP this morning that the identity of the Minneapolis police officer who shot and killed a woman Saturday in southwest Minneapolis is Mohamed Noor.
Noor joined the department in March 2015 and is currently assigned to the 5th Precinct in the southwest part of the city.
A source with direct knowledge of the shooting said Monday that the woman was shot multiple times. The source said that Noor was sitting in the passenger seat at the time of the shooting.
Noor reportedly shot across his partner who was the driver of the squad at the time. The shooting occurred at 11:30 p.m. Saturday.”
All the cop has to say is that he felt his life was threatened and that makes it all justifiable.
What was your old screen name, Non-Sequitur?
Made a poor career choice, I think. Should have stayed with business or finance. Police work sure didn’t suit him.
East of there.
What was your old screen name, Non-Sequitur?
Nope. Did he/she live in the KC area too? There are about 2 million of us in the greater Kansas City area you know. And we don't all know each other.
But what does this have to do with your biases and your idiotic observations?
Lawrence is west of Kansas City. I live east.
And if you look at post 83 you will see your suspicions are about as spot on as your geography.
I’m retired USAF. I served proudly with lots of guys with vowels ending their last name.
They were all great Americans.
Oh, so you’re in Missouri then. You do have a major case of academic brain-lock, though. Mizzou?
Bad shoot.
I shouldn’t get involved in this, there are just too many unanswered questions. Unanswered questions aside there are certain things we can figure out from the circumstances.
You never shoot across the car in front of your partner.
This had to be an accidental shooting, you just wouldn’t do what was done. While I say accidental shooting I have to blame the police department that purchased the hair trigger weapons. I see no excuse for them. Yeah I know you aren’t supposed to put your finger on the trigger until ready to shoot but it is just too easy to accidentally shoot.
My son, a cop with a hair trigger. He will tell me it is safe, we put the safety on so mistakes can’t be made but we see these mistakes over and over again. I would if I were king of the country make all Police departments switch to double action only weapons where this kind of accident just can’t happen. Double action with heavy trigger pull can be just as accurate as these silly hair trigger guns, you just have to train for them.
I do realize that with the safety on and your finger outside the trigger guard it “should” be safe but these mistakes keep happening.
This is sickening.
Born and raised.
You do have a major case of academic brain-lock, though.
LOL! You do not strike me as someone who should be criticizing others in that regard.
Mizzou?
Nope. Went to college in Iowa.
Not a bad shoot (single). She was shot multiple times.

Didn’t ask where you went to college.
Let's give guns and badges to Somalis. What could go wrong?

Yeah, I saw that someone said the cop shot multiple times but I find it hard to believe that because what idiot would shoot through the partners door across his chest multiple times?
We’ll see the truth in about 6 to 9 months.
First Somali-American cop in the precinct. Might he have been qualified only via affirmative action? The problem may not be in Mogadishu culture but in Democratic Party culture.
Diversity, multiculturalism...it's killing us.
This is starting to have Islamic JIHAD WRITTEN ALL OVER IT. The Muzzie cop will get away with this MURDER.
For any of you who want to come and cry out that I’m prejudging this...go F yourselves and your political correctness!
