On April 28, 2018, 36-year-old Shukri Ali Said, a Somali-American woman reportedly living with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, was shot and killed by police in a Johns Creek, Georgia, subdivision after her family called 911 for help during a mental health crisis. Family members said she had grabbed a kitchen knife and left the home on foot; officers located her near Abbotts Bridge Road and Sweet Creek Road and say she did not comply with repeated commands to drop the weapon.

Officials report that officers used less-lethal measures including a Taser and a foam projectile before two officers fired their service weapons, striking Said multiple times. She was transported to Emory Johns Creek Hospital and pronounced dead; a preliminary autopsy found five gunshot wounds to the neck, head, and chest. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation led the officer-involved shooting probe, and the case was to be sent to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office. The family, represented by civil rights groups, questioned the use of lethal force and later filed a lawsuit; two of the four officers involved reportedly declined interviews with prosecutors a year after the shooting.

Does anyone have information about the incident that could help clarify what happened that morning?
