WASHINGTON, April 20 (Xinhua) -- A black teenage girl was killed Tuesday in a police shooting in Columbus, Ohio, shortly before a jury reached a guilty verdict in the murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin over the death of George Floyd.
At a news briefing in the evening, Columbus police showed bodycam footage of a responding officer shooting the girl in the afternoon as she appeared to attempt to stab two other girls.
The shooting happened around 4:45 p.m. ET (2045 GMT) at a residence in the southeastern part of the city, just minutes before Chauvin's verdict was announced.
