VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — The mother of a woman fatally shot by Virginia Beach police says her daughter was a sweet and trusting person and the shooting was unjustified.

Gina Best of Columbia, Maryland, said Tuesday that her daughter, 28-year-old India Kager of College Park, Maryland, should not have been shot.

Police say Kager and 35-year-old Angelo Delano Perry died following an exchange of gunfire with officers Saturday night outside a convenience store.

Police say the officers had received information about a person of interest in a homicide. As they approached a vehicle outside the store, someone inside fired at them. The officers returned fire.

An infant inside the vehicle wasn’t injured. Best says the infant is Kager’s 4-month-old son. Police say the officers are white and Kager and Perry were black.
