A Minneapolis police officer has been convicted of murder over the fatal shooting of an unarmed woman who approached his squad car minutes after calling 911 to report a possible rape behind her home. Mohamed Noor was convicted of third-degree murder as well as manslaughter in the July 2017 death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a 40-year-old dual citizen of the US and Australia. The death of Ms Damond, a life coach who was engaged to be married a month after the shooting, sparked outrage in both the US and Australia. Neither officer had a body camera running when Ms Damond was shot, something Mr Harrity blamed on what he called a vague policy that did not require it. Both men switched on their cameras in time to capture the aftermath, which included their attempts to save Ms Damond with CPR.
