Ma’Khia Bryant’s Death

According to reports, Columbus police ultimately took the life of Bryant Tuesday – the same day as the George Floyd verdict. The town’s mayor has since come forward to speak out on the attack.

Police said at a late news conference on Tuesday that the girl had threatened two others with a knife before the shooting, playing segments of body camera video that showed the victim lunging toward someone in a driveway before an officer fired four shots. A knife is visible in the driveway next to the girl as police perform CPR on her. “We know, based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,” Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther (D) said at the news conference. “But a family is grieving tonight, and this young 15-year-old girl will never be coming home.” (Washington Post)
