A former Minneapolis police officer was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison this morning for the fatal shooting of an unarmed Australian-American yoga teacher after she had called police to report a possible sexual assault. Mohamed Noor, 33, was convicted on April 30 of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for the 2017 killing 40-year-old Justine Ruszczyk Damond outside her home near Minneapolis. An emotional Noor, his voice breaking as he spoke about the shooting for the first time, said he can't apologize enough. 'I have lived with this and I will continue to live with this,' Noor said. Ruszczyk Damond was a dual citizen of the US and Australia living in Minnesota.
