This 28-year-old Black woman, Atatiana Jefferson, was shot by the police in her own home and died instantly. A neighbour, James Smith, had reported seeing something, and now the neighbour is blaming himself. No, it seems to me that the fault lies squarely with the police.
This is one more reason why we need nonviolence and Nonviolent Communication (NVC). NVC is changing lives all over the world. And this is one more reason why I hold the annual Blogging Carnival for Nonviolence.
CBS News say this is causing "outrage", and of course, it is.
Jefferson's family are demanding answers.

Here is a letter to the son of Cherry Groce, written by my colleague, NVC teacher Ceri Buckmaster. Cherry Groce's experience was very similar to Atatiana Jefferson's, but it was many years later that she died of her wounds. There are also similarities with the death of Breonna Taylor.
