MINNEAPOLIS - The family of an Australian woman who was shot and killed by police in Minneapolis says they're trying to understand why it happened.
In a statement released by Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the family of the woman say this is a difficult time. She was Justine Damond, 40.
The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension released a statement Sunday saying two Minneapolis officers responded to a 911 call for a potential assault late Saturday. Exact details.
Officials say the officers' body cameras weren't turned on and a squad camera didn't capture the shooting.
The woman was 40 years old and worked as a spiritual healer.
Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges says she's "heartsick" and "deeply disturbed" by what occurred.
