Officers Shot Leonna Hale Was 5 Times
Hale and her partner in the car were apparently stopped by the police. As they were pulled over, the man in the driver’s seat jumped out of the car, off the fence, and ran away. As this happened, the police ordered her to step out of the vehicle hands up.
As she came out with her hands up, 5 shots were fired. Then she lay down on the road. The footage was captured by a woman who identified herself as Shédanja.
One of the witnesses said, “Police asked her to get down on the ground but she refused”. In fact, she was unable to do so due to pregnancy.
Älso, police suspected there was a weapon in the car as witnesses explained it. Shédanja however refused that she had anything on her when she came out. She claimed “She did not even have a stick in her hand”.”
