They've identified the police officer who shot that 40 yr old woman but still no reason given. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4703892/Police-officer-shot-Justine-Damond-identified.html
The lady that was killed, is the one that called 911 about a possible assault in an alley behind her home. Three people, who say they seen what happened, said the lady was talking to the officer who was in the drivers seat when, for some unknown reason, the officer in the passenger's seat pulled their service revolver and shot the door and the women. Don't know how reliable the info that the three people gave, but generally officers don't turn on their body camera until they are outside the patrol car. So, question is, what prompted the one officer to pull her weapon and shoot? Did the lady make a move like she was going for a weapon? Nothing is clear yet.
Afterr reading the story I doubt she made a move like going for a weapon...she was supposedly very anti gun to begin with.

She had her cell phone in her hand. Believe it or not, in darkness, that can be taken as a gun in the way a person might hold it.
Let's speculate. She gave him a dirty look? She pointed her fingers like a gun and said 'BANG'. She looked like his mother in law? She was wearing too much perfume. She had baaaaad breath. She stuck out her tongue. She was there. He had a gun.
In this case it just doesn't seem logical unless there is info we don't know. She's the one that called 911 and was talking to the other police officer so I'm sure he could see it was a cell phone. Kind of risky for the shooter to shoot past the other officer sitting in the drivers seat... Critical info is still missing...
Believe it or not he might have murdered her for no reason at all or the gun he was pointing simply went off. Or that back in Somalia there is (it seems) little to no law and order you shoot then cover up.
The officer passed all of the physical, verbal and metal testing/evaluation to become an officer. If he made a mistake, he'll be found guilty in a court of law...........of which, we in this forum are not.
Most charged police are never convicted so if he made a mistake the odds are pretty good in his favor.
