A Columbus, Ohio, police officer reportedly shot and killed a 15-year-old girl Tuesday who was allegedly armed with a knife.
ABC 6 notes that police were called “to the 3000 block of Legion Lane just before 3:45 p.m.” on reports of an “attempted stabbing.”
A teenager named Makiyah Bryant was shot and killed by a responding officer.
Yahoo News reports the incident occurred at roughly the same time as the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial was being handed down.

A woman claiming to be Bryant’s aunt spoke to reporters afterward:
