An Ohio police officer shot and killed a teenage girl Tuesday as she attacked two other people with what appeared to be a knife in east Columbus, body camera footage released just hours after the fatal shooting shows. An Ohio police officer shot and killed a teenage girl Tuesday as she attacked two other people with what appeared to be a knife in east Columbus, body camera footage released just hours after the fatal shooting shows.

Police were called to the scene around 4:30 p.m. on a report of someone attempting to stab others at a home.

As soon as police pulled up, a young female can be seen tackling another female to the ground with what appeared to be a knife in her hand. The girl can then be seen charging at another nearby female while raising the apparent knife in the air, at which point the officer fired multiple shots, fatally wounding the attacker.

"She came at them with a knife," the officer can be heard saying as other officers tended to the girl on the ground.

Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said that the whole situation is a tragedy.

"It’s a tragic day in the city of Columbus. It's a horrible, heartbreaking situation," Ginther said Tuesday night. "The city of Columbus lost a 15-year-old girl today. We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community. But a family is grieving tonight. And this young 15-year-old girl will never be coming home."

There used to be a horrible saying about Indi-sorry, Native Americans. It would seem it’s morphed into the philosophy of BLM: The only black lives that matter are dead black lives, provided a cop can be blamed.

“How about the case where the former black NFL player killed six Whites, including two little children?”

You mean, he’s no longer Black? He did a Michael Jackson?

[Artcore]

I didn’t watch the video, but was the girl in pink (potential victim) black?

[cuban leaf]

Man,did she go down quick.

That’s the way it’s supposed to work. That was an amazing video. The woman in pink thanks the cops, I’m sure.

The police should no longer respond to any calls which might bring them into contact with blacks. So he might have saved one black girl, but the focus will now be on how he killed a little black angel. Black areas should be no go zones and if there are any other situations where the police inadvertently come in contact with blacks, they should leave immediately. Inner city killing zones should learn that if they have a problem, sort it out themselves or call their local gang. Help is not coming. Let the ferals kill each other. Any good people should get out.

“Appears” to be holding a knife? I saw the video, and it was plain as day - and it was a very large knife.

"That’s the way it’s supposed to work. That was an amazing video. The woman in pink thanks the cops, I’m sure."

Probably not; at least not publicly or someone would finish the job for praising the cop.

[Steve_Seattle]

“who appears to hold knife” This is the media at its best: casting doubt on obvious, undeniable truth."

You and a few others beat me to it - they are casting doubt on something that was blatantly obvious. It was a large knife in plain view, and the holder of the knife was in the act of trying to stab the other girl.

Slowed the video way down.

It may not have been a knife? Watch closely it might have been her silver cellphone.

You see it fall to the ground while the girl in pink is up against the car.

"The city of Columbus lost a 15-year-old girl today. We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community. But a family is grieving tonight. And this young 15-year-old girl will never be coming home."

What a vapid summary. The girl was killed while attempting to murder another girl with a large knife. The officer saved the life of an innocent (black) person, and is rewarded with accusations of racism.

“Any good people should get out.”

To somewhere where they aren’t black? The policy would follow them unless they have a really good skin cream.

The police should do their damn job evenhandedly, and let the chips fall where they may. Those who can’t handle that, should resign. And they should get hazard pay and union-paid high-powered lawyers to protect them from the vultures. And there should be a gag order on every politician from the local alderman to POTUS, imposed not by law, oh, no. First Amendment and all that. But by simple good sense and decency. This whole Floyd matter was a travesty of injustice. Although Nanshy thinksh it wash a great human shacrifishe to Beelzhebub, otherwise known as “justish” or the DNShee, or whatever it is she worshipsh.

Correction, the phone that falls to the ground is from the girl in pink pocket. Phone is visible earlier in the bodycam footage.

[I got the rope]

That 16 year old knew she was surrounded by cops and she still was raging in bloodlust. A bullet was the only thing that would have stopped her.

Not sure why she thought there would be no consequences for her actions....hmmmm.

[bgill]

Every last officer should walk out. Let chaos reign while the thugs kill off their own. Maybe, just maybe, we’ll get our country back.

[Toespi]

And let’s not forget the black (Farrakhan follower) who ran over two Capitol police officers, killing one several weeks ago.

Yesterday, a black shot three people, killing one, on Long Island in a quick stop store.

Seems there are more recently, but so many, can’t recall.

[Eleutheria5]

But if she got the chance to grow up, who knows whom she might have knifed. Such potential. Wasted.

They cannot do their jobs now. All is exploitable politically. And who would impose such a gag order. There is no good sense and decency. It is lord of the flies time now. It won't change without vast bloodshed and the anarchists want that, too.

[Jeff Chandler]

I wonder if they will interview the other girl that didn’t get stabbed, if she thought the police were out of line shooting the attacker, instead of trying to reason with her?

Don't be surprised if the girl he saved eventually turns on him.

No good deed goes unpunished.
