The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has released the identity of the woman who died Saturday morning in an officer-involved shooting in Johns Creek. The woman, identified as 36-year-old Shukri Ali Said, was pronounced dead at Emory Johns Creek Hospital following the April 28 incident near Northview High School.
Officers with the agency were dispatched just after 7 a.m. April 28 to a call of a “demented person armed with a knife” in the 300 block of Winherst Lane, said Police Department spokesperson Capt. Chris Byers.
THE POLICE OFFICERS USED TASER AND “FOAM IMPACT” ROUND BEFORE THEY SHOT THE WOMAN.
The woman refused to drop the knife. What are the police to do? CAIR jumped in right away to make a claim that because the woman was wearing a hijab that the cops shot her. Could it be that she refused to drop the knife after they did everything they could?
CAIR STATED:
“It is also possible that law enforcement reacted differently to Shukri, a Somali-American woman who was reportedly wearing a hijab and a dress at the time of the shooting, than they would have reacted to another individual.”
