paris, 46 years old, she s a mother and having a mental health crisis very early after midnight. she was cutting, according to law enforcement authorities, the wires of her apartment s fire alarm system. so firefighters show up at that very early morning hour and ask her, hey, what s going on, what are you doing cutting the wires to the fire alarm system? and she tells the firefighters she was cutting those wires because she thought that the fbi was listening to her so it s very apparent that she needed help. officers show up to that scene, though, they determine among themselves that they need to charge her with criminal mischief, a felony count for cutting those wires. she is scared, though, she goes into her apartment and she grabs a hammer. she moves closer to her apartment window twice, and in both of those instances officers open fire, two volleys of gunshots that lead to her death. now, we re going to show you
