Police told US media that 26-year-old Leonna Hale was shot by officers responding to reports of armed car theft at 8 p.m. on Friday evening.

The witness, who recorded the video and posted it on Facebook, said the woman who was shot raised her hands before she started running and spoke to the police to show that she did not have a gun.
A witness named Shedanja told reporters that Leonna didn’t want to get out of the car and get within shooting range because she told police she was pregnant.
The witness told everything
The witness was said to have said, “He was going to cooperate, he was scared, he ran there and they shot him… that’s not true!” was the best summary of what happened.
According to the information available, it is almost certain that Leonna, who was shot, also informed the police that there was a gun in the car and did not draw a gun to the police.
Police confirmed in a statement that they later found a handgun near the crime scene.
Shedanja told The Star: “He didn’t even have a stick in his hand. One, two, three, four, five. I remember well because the cops didn’t stop. They fired five shots. I remember seeing him fall to the ground and I froze.”
