MINNEAPOLIS—A prosecutor attacked a former Minneapolis police officer for his decision to shoot an unarmed woman who approached his squad car, suggesting Friday that he had “no basis” to fire when he couldn’t see a weapon or the woman’s hands.
Prosecutor Amy Sweasy pressed Mohamed Noor to explain why he didn’t choose another option before he shot Justine Ruszczyk Damond in July 2017, just minutes after she called 911 to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her house.
