SEATTLE, Wash. (AP) – A cousin of a mother who was shot and killed by Seattle police officers, questions why they had to end her life.
Pastor Kenny Isabell wonders why they didn’t use a taser or other non-lethal options.
Isabell says Charleena Lyles was a pregnant mother of four and not a violent person.
Seattle police say officers responding to a report of a burglary at Lyles’ apartment Sunday were confronted by a woman armed with a knife.
Two officers fired, killing her.
