A Minneapolis police officer who shot dead an unarmed Australian yoga teacher in her pyjamas after answering her 911 call has been charged with murder.
Officer Mohamed Noor, 32, turned himself in Tuesday morning and is held on murder and manslaughter charges for gunning down 40-year-old Justine Damond on July 15.
He shot Damond in the stomach when she approached his squad car minutes after she called police to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her home.
Charging documents reveal Damond said ‘I’m dead’ or ‘I’m dying’ as she clasped her stomach after being shot. She was given CPR by the officers but died at the scene.
