The police are full of dangers in the arrest operation, and at the same time, they are also full of uncertainties. According to the Daily Mail on December 20, the US police forcibly entered a private house when arresting the suspect, and the woman in the house was unknown, so she subconsciously confronted the police with a gun, and the police mistakenly shot the innocent woman.
Ann Rylee, a 19-year-old American girl, lives with her fiancé, Christopher McLeod, in a house on Old Moffat Road that belongs to Christopher's grandmother.
Christopher's uncle, Nicholas McLeod, used to live in the house, and the police entered the house in search of Nicholas, after which Riley was shot several times, fortunately not fatally.
Currently, Riley has undergone surgery at a nearby hospital and is expected to recover.
Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran said: "Police entered the house to arrest Nicholas, who was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and tampering with evidence. ”
"But at the time, Reilly was holding a shotgun in his hand and pointing it at the police."
"The police repeatedly told her to 'put down the gun, put down the gun'. But the muzzle of her gun was still pointed at the police, who then opened fire on her. ”
He added: "If Riley hadn't pointed the gun at the policemen, they would have found out Nicholas wasn't there and left.
Reilly's fiancé, Christopher, explained that they had no choice but to take a gun to protect themselves: "Several policemen in body armor and rifles came to the house and asked us to raise our hands. ”
"They're looking for my uncle, who lived here many years ago."
"At the time, my fiancée, Riley, was asleep in a recliner in the living room, where we kept a shotgun to protect ourselves. As the police approached the house, they shouted 'shoot' and fired several shots in a row. Throughout the process, they made us lie face down on the dirt outside. ”
"Reilly was shot several times and underwent surgery. I just wish she was okay, she had multiple gunshot wounds on her body and her liver was also bruised, but her condition was getting better. ”
"It's so unfortunate because none of this should have happened, and this has nothing to do with us. We are only unfortunate victims. ”
Such reports of police officers injuring or killing people by mistake are not unique, and in July 2017, Dimond, 40, called 911 to say he heard a cry for help near his residence in Minneapolis, possibly a sexual assault case.
After receiving the report, nour and his colleagues rushed to Diamond's location, and Noor said that just as Diamond was walking toward the police car, he heard a loud noise, thinking that Diamond was carrying a weapon, so he drew his gun and fired several shots at Diamond from the window. This caused the death of Diamond.
