HeadlineJun 10, 2019

In Minneapolis, a judge sentenced Mohamed Noor, the former police officer who shot and killed a white woman while responding to her 911 call, to 12.5 years in prison. In April, Noor was found guilty of third-degree murder and manslaughter for fatally shooting Australian Justine Ruszczyk Damond in 2017, after she reported a possible sexual assault happening in the alley behind her home. When the police came, she came downstairs and Noor shot her.
