Partner of cop who fatally shot bride-to-be 'was STUNNED when his colleague opened fire...' (trunc)

Full Title: "Partner of cop who fatally shot bride-to-be 'was STUNNED when his colleague opened fire from inside their squad car' as autopsy reveals she was killed by one bullet to the stomach after she called 911"

The partner of a Minneapolis cop who shot dead bride-to-be Justine Damond was 'stunned' when the officer opened fire through a squad car door, sources say.

Officer Matthew Harrity, who was in the driving seat, was speaking to Damond after she called 911 to report a sexual assault occurring near her home, when his partner reached across him and fatally shot her in the abdomen.

A police source told KARE11 that Harrity was 'left stunned' by officer Mohamed Noor's actions.

The revelation makes the motive for shooting all the more mysterious as it appears that Harrity did not view Damond as posing a threat.

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, BCA, investigating the incident, is remaining tight lipped about what happened late that Saturday night until they finish interviewing Noor and Harrity as part of their probe.

Meanwhile, the Mayor of Minneapolis Betsy Hodges is demanding to know why neither officer had their bodycam turned on at the time, which she called a 'key question' for investigators.

Noor, 31, has since offered his 'condolences' but demanded everyone respect his privacy after opening fire on the 40-year-old yoga instructor.

This was multiple shots. Real hard to explain except the guy must be nuts.

And it appears that so far, no explanation of any sort has been offered.

At the very least I expected his statement to be something along the line of "She surprised me and I thought she was attacking us."

If it isn't that, then the only explanation I can think of is that he was on drugs, probably meth.

It makes people crazy paranoid.

If this guy’s personnel record comes in as evidence, look out. Maybe not in a criminal trial, but if there is a civil trial.

Awful lot of muckety mucks are going to want this to go away quickly and as far from public view as possible.

He feared for his life, and just wanted to get home to see his family.

VERY interesting observation—— and not a peep from the Antifa psychos.

Victim must have been white. Because a (black) Muslim cop cannot be a racist, guilty perpetrator, of course. /s

I have read several articles about this and have yet to find any clue as to what this moron thought he was doing by shooting this lady.

Perhaps she was describing the aggressor in the alleged sexual assault as Somali-looking?

I think I have it all figured out. The cop saw a dog and instinctively shot at it but he missed and accidentally shot the woman instead.

Extracting a single word quote from an unnamed source is fake news. It took us a long time to find out what really happened when Michael Brown was shot. This will most likely be the same.

I absolutely loathe the police. I thought your post was very funny.
