The fatal police shooting of Sydney life coach Justine Damond-Ruszczyk in a dark Minneapolis alley was “a perfect storm” and Australia’s lack of gun violence may have been a factor, a jury has been told.

Mohamed Noor, a 33-year-old former police officer, has been charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and manslaughter. If found guilty, faces more than 40 years in prison.
