"A police constable in Duncannon, Pa., accidentally shot and killed a 12-year-old girl at her home following an altercation with her father over an eviction notice, officials said Tuesday.
Constable Clarke Steele fired a shot at Donald Meyer that grazed his left arm before hitting his daughter Ciara, the Guardian reported.
Steele had gone to the house to “enforce an eviction order,” officials said, following which Meyer allegedly shut the door on him before opening it a second time holding a rifle. Meyer, 57, then reportedly “leveled” his gun at Steele, prompting the policeman to draw his own weapon and fire.
Meyer was treated for relatively minor injuries at a local hospital on Monday and charged with aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person, soon after his daughter was pronounced dead at their home.
Bill Stoessler, spokesman for the Commonwealth Constables Association, of which Steele is a member, said Steele was “shattered” at Ciara’s death and had voluntarily suspended himself from the force."
"The shooting of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old boy (June 25, 2002 – November 23, 2014), occurred on November 22, 2014, in Cleveland, Ohio. Two police officers, 26-year-old Timothy Loehmann and 46-year-old Frank Garmback, responded after receiving a police dispatch call "of a male black sitting on a swing and pointing a gun at people" in a city park.[3][4][5] A caller reported that a male was pointing "a pistol" at random people in the Cudell Recreation Center. At the beginning of the call and again in the middle he says of the pistol "it's probably fake."[6] Toward the end of the two-minute call, the caller stated "he is probably a juvenile."[7] However, this information was not relayed to Loehmann or Garmback on the initial dispatch.[8][9] The officers reported that upon their arrival, Rice reached towards a gun in his waistband. Within two seconds of arriving on the scene, Loehmann fired two shots,[10][11] hitting Rice once in the torso.[4][12] He died on the following day.[13]
Rice's gun was later found to be an Airsoft replica that lacked the orange safety feature marking it as a replica and not a true firearm.[14][15] A surveillance video of the shooting was released by police four days later, on November 26.[16] On June 3, the County Sheriff's Office released a statement in which they declared their investigation to be completed and that they had turned their findings over to the county prosecutor. Several months later, the prosecution presented evidence to a grand jury, which declined to indict.[17][18] A lawsuit brought against the city of Cleveland by Rice's family was subsequently settled for $6 million.[1]
In the aftermath of the shooting, it was reported that Loehmann, in his previous job as a police officer in the Cleveland suburb of Independence, had been deemed an emotionally unstable recruit and unfit for duty.[19] The incident received national and international coverage, in part due to the time of its occurrence, coming shortly after the police shootings of several other black males."
You shoot a Police dog, do 40 years. Police shoot you, laugh about it.
