MINNEAPOLIS—A Minneapolis police officer was charged Tuesday with murder and manslaughter in the fatal shooting of an unarmed Australian woman in July minutes after she called 911 to report a possible sexual assault behind her home. But he added: “Clearly Officer Noor violated the rules and deserves to be charged.”Noor, who had been on paid leave since the shooting, was fired from the police force Tuesday. “The facts will show that Officer Noor acted as he has been trained and consistent with established departmental policy. Officer Noor should not have been charged with any crime,” he said in a statement. About a month later, dozens of officers received subpoenas to testify before the grand jury.
