Hmm

Story is 2 days old, but this is what we know so far

1.Woman may have been an accomplice in a carjacking that , yes, involved arms.

2.Police tailed both of them

3.When cornered, man ran away, woman came out...said she was pregnant, and 1) said there was a gun in the car or 2) came out holding a gun and threw it away.

4.Police shot her.

Modifed

Leona was holding a gun and actually pointed it at the police. Police asked her to drop the weapon repeatedly.

New evidence from the body cameras.

There is something seriously wrong with the US police. It’s the same problem plaguing their white populace. The urge to shoot and kill. Shooting people dead is like video games for them.
Blacks unfortunately happen to be the easy targets.
