Warrant: Woman slapped squad car before cop fatally shot Ruszczyk
MPR News ^ | 07/24/2017 | Riham Feshir

Before Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor shot Justine Ruszczyk through the open driver's side window of his squad, a woman had approached the back of the patrol car and "slapped" it, according to a court document filed Monday.

Authorities say Ruszczyk, who also used the surname Damond, called 911 to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her south Minneapolis home. She called again 10 minutes later to check on the status of the responding officer's arrival. Soon after, she was shot.

A search warrant was filed by Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigators to look at the area where the shooting happened and gather evidence as part of the investigation.

"Upon police arrival, a female 'slaps' the back of the patrol squad," according to the search warrant. "After that, it is unknown to BCA agents what exactly happened, but the female became deceased in the alley."

But the document doesn't explicitly say it was Ruszczyk who slapped the back of the police cruiser. It also doesn't say whether that was the loud noise that Noor's partner, Matthew Harrity, said he heard and was startled by before the shooting.

A BCA spokesperson declined to provide additional details, citing the ongoing investigation.

Noor has declined to speak with investigators. He remains on paid administrative leave.

The shooting has stirred controversy all around the country and internationally as news spread to Ruszczyk's home country of Australia.

Former Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau, before she resigned Friday, condemned Noor's actions and said "Justine didn't have to die." On Saturday, Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges appointed Assistant Police Chief Medaria Arradondo as acting chief.

Good thing a balloon didn’t pop at a carnival. We would have had a massacre on our hands.

ROFL. These cops today are half woosie-men I guess. Any noise that startles them justifies killing without engaging a brain.

Especially in that terrible neighborhood - Not.

Maybe they are all too hopped up on coffee and donuts.

Good point.

I believe this will be brought before a Grand Jury. And there will be huge pressure put on the partner to white-wash this whole story.

I also believe Mohammad will walk.

She most likely just put her hand on the car (not “slapped “ it) and probably said something like she was glad they finally came, after she called 911 twice.

Obviously the answer to this from the police should not be a bullet.

I don't know how stupid a person has to be to pound on the roof of a cop car when cops are being executed, shot thru the head, every other week now days.

This cop should not have lost his nerve and fired, but, we all know why he did it.

Or, perhaps, the “slap” simply didn’t happen. Put the Jihadi murderer and his partner, who’s covering for him, under a polygraph and watch the needles wildly jump!

Of course he wasn’t but he had a gun and he advised the idiot cop that he did. The point is the reporter lied. As reporters do.

She was standing and talking to his partner on the driver’s side of the vehicle. She was shot in the stomach by Noor through the open window where she was talking to his partner. How does her allegedly slapping the back of the squad car as she approached it, have anything to do with his shooting her as she’s standing next to the vehicle? If he was so startled by her slap, why didn’t he open fire before she even arrived at the side of the car?

*PFfft* EVERYBODY knows that’s an assault on a police vehicle, FRiend. You think the boys behind the blue wall ALLOW such disrespect by the peons??

Maybe she came up to the side of the car w/ one of those ‘gun’-fans. She had it spinning and he, fearing for his life vs. the foam blades, capable of slicing through the neck, shot and killed her!?

You NEVER know, y’know? Doesn’t matter though, we *MUST* protect our law-enforcement officers; their lives are more important than yours or mine (a conscription position, I’ve heard).

Where did you read she pounded on the roof of the cop car? Where did you read it was her that even made the loud noise? I understand cops are jumpy and with good reason, but fill me in on where you read these things.

What? If it was a second woman that changes everything?

A startled nervous cop made a mistake.

We all know cop standards have been lowered to let women in.

Anyone even think that she tapped the back of the car because she didn’t want to surprise them as she approached from behind?

No kidding. I worked once in a corporate cubicle environment of mostly Indians and Pakis, and my American buddy and I would joke and jokingly argue over who was going to go where and get the best hiding place or easiest exit when the jihad came! LOL
