Missouri cops allegedly shot a woman five times as she tried to flee her arrest for a suspected armed carjacking — but on Tuesday denied initial reports that she had been unarmed and pregnant.
Leonna Hale, 26, had been filmed laying in a pool of blood Friday night after being shot in Kansas City by officers responding to reports of an armed carjacking, officials confirmed to KCTV
“They shot her! Oh my God, they shot her!” a woman repeatedly cried out in footage she filmed and shared on Facebook.
“What the f–k!” she gasped as she filmed the shot woman on the ground. “Oh my God, they shot her and they still putting her in handcuffs!”
The witness, who only gave the name Shédanja, told the Kansas City Star that the shot woman had shouted out to cops that she was pregnant — and had held her hands in the air to prove she was unarmed.
Kansas City Police Department shot an unarmed Black woman 5 times. Eyewitnesses say the woman had her hands up.
The police handcuffed her while she was bleeding out on the pavement.
The woman has been identified as 26-year-old Leonna Hale
