In July 2014, two Idaho police officers shot and killed a 35-year-old Native American woman, Jeanetta Riley, after she waved a knife at them outside a hospital.
The Guardian reports that Riley’s husband, Shane, had driven her to the hospital after she threatened to kill herself. When they arrived, she pulled out a knife. Fearing that she would hurt herself, Shane ran inside and asked hospital staff to call the police.
Unfortunately, within 15 seconds of the officers arriving at the scene, his wife was gunned down.
Footage of the shooting has now been released.
Riley was pregnant and addicted to methamphetamine and alcohol at the time of her death. Both officers involved in the shooting have since been cleared of any misconduct.
Fourteen hours after this shooting, police shot and killed a dog named Arfee. Two weeks later, the dog’s owner received a payout of $80,000, reports The Guardian.
Jeanetta Riley’s husband and their three daughters, on the other hand, have yet to receive even an apology.
