 Friends and neighbors have erected a memorial of flowers and posters outside the home of an Australian woman who was fatally shot by police in Minneapolis. Justine Damon died late Saturday night in Southwest Minneapolis after she was shot by a Minneapolis police officer shortly after family members say she called 911 to report a possible assault in the alley near her house. It's not clear what led to the shooting, which is being investigated by state authorities. Sources tell the Minneapolis Star Tribune that two officers in one squad car responded to the 911 call and pulled into the alley. Damon Inner Pajamas went to the driver's side door and was talking to the driver. The officer in the passenger seat pulled his gun and shot Damon through the driver's side door according to the sources. Well this is in my mind an execution. I hate to say that. My friend of mine said I think we were getting too close to what we call police state. This is obviously a victimization of someone that was asking for help. The officer who shot Damon is identified as Mohammed Noor. Noor is a Somali-American officer who joined the department two years ago.
