HAZEL BRYANT: The police just taking out our Black people, one by one by one. And Hazel's frustration with police was extremely evident yesterday. She's a sweet child in the foster care program trying to do her best. And Hazel Bryant says that she's Ma'Khia's aunt, and Hazel remembers Ma'Khia as loving. We're getting information bit by bit throughout the night and then, of course, still going into today about exactly what happened. There's also been a lot of confusion around the details of this event. And then down the road in downtown Columbus, a much larger group of protesters started showing up to demonstrate at Columbus police headquarters. About a few dozen were there by the end of the night with signs, with bullhorns, shouting against police violence, shouting for racial justice. And almost immediately after news broke that Ma'Khia Bryant was shot and killed by police, protesters started showing up at this neighborhood. But what has the reaction been in Columbus?ĬHOW: Well, this is clearly a traumatic, tragic event. KING: OK, so we'll be waiting on the police for more details and looking for more details in the video. And then you hear the cops say that she had a knife. The police attended immediately to the girl medically. And it looks like the girl may have dropped a knife. Police showed a slowed-down version of the events through that body camera footage. That's when you hear the cop shout, get down, about four times and then fire what sounds like four shots at what looks like a really close range. The person who pushes that woman to the ground then turns to somebody else. And then you see someone get pushed down to the ground. And then there's a lot of commotion on this driveway in a neighborhood, a newer development in Ohio - or in Columbus. You see a police officer - still unnamed by the city - get out of his car. ![]() Good morning, Andy.ĬHOW: The biggest takeaway that you get from watching the body camera footage is just how quickly everything happens. He's been following this developing story. ![]() Andy Chow is a reporter with Ohio Public Radio. Police released body camera footage last night. ![]() And within seconds, they shot a teenage girl, Ma'Khia Bryant. A few minutes before a judge in Minneapolis handed down a verdict of guilty in Derek Chauvin's trial, police in Columbus, Ohio, responded to 911 calls about a domestic disturbance.
