Baltimore County police killed a 23-year-old African-American woman on Monday after an armed standoff. Korryn Gaines was live-streaming the standoff via Facebook on Monday before her account was shut down. Police say they attempted to negotiate with Gaines before shooting her, and that she had pointed a shotgun at police. Her five-year-old son was in the apartment with her and was injured by gunfire. Police were at Gaines’s apartment to execute an arrest warrant related to a traffic violation earlier this year. Police also had a warrant for Gaines’s boyfriend, who was arrested before the standoff began and later released. Police have not said who fired the shot that injured Gaines’ son.
