The fatal shooting of a knife-wielding Black teenage girl by police in Columbus, Ohio, came within minutes of the verdict in George Floyd's killing, prompting outrage over the continued police use of lethal force. "We know based on this footage the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community," he told reporters. Less than three weeks before Hill was killed, a Franklin County Sheriff's deputy fatally shot 23-year-old Casey Goodson Jr. in Columbus. Last week, Columbus police shot and killed a man who was in a hospital emergency room with a gun on him.
