CNN: Officials in Minneapolis Have Released 911 Transcripts in Police Shooting of Bride-to-Be

‘The transcripts show that bride-to-be called for a help twice’

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: "Officials releasing the 911 transcripts from the calls made by a bride-to-be who was shot and killed by police just moments after reporting a possible crime. The transcripts show that the bride-to-be called for help twice, OK? So why were there two calls? The first was to report a possible rape which she felt was going on behind her home. Then, eight minutes later she called asking when officers would arrive? Two officers got to the scene just minutes later. According to one of those officers, the police officer who fired, Mohamed Noor, was startled by a loud sound in the alley and wound up shooting the victim right after. Now, her family is saying they want the investigation to come it a conclusion as soon as possible obviously because they want to take her body home to Australia and get closure. But why does this second call matter? It matters because at a minimum it shows that in that period of delay her concern may well have heightened and caused her to take an action, to go outside, to look for herself, to see if the police were there. And in so doing, it may have created conditions, I'm not saying in terms of -- obviously it's not her fault to get shot, but we now know a little bit more about how she came in -- into the field of vision of the police officer on this situation? Now how he responded, what he perceived, where he was, all remains unknown."
