Garrett Foster Dead in shooting The victim was identified as her mother, Sheila, who was speaking to Good Morning America on Sunday as Garrett Foster. A Black Lives Matter protest, which was shot and killed during a demonstration in Texas by a driver heading towards the crowd before opening fire on Saturday night, pushed his underbelly fiancee into his wheelchair a few minutes before shooting. Foster's mother said that her son had participated in several peaceful protests with her four-year-old fiancee Whitney Mitchell. Sheila said she pushed Foster's fiance just before he was shot deadly. Police spokesperson Katrina Ratliff told reporters early Sunday that during a protest in Austin, the fire took place just before 22:00. During the demonstration, a vehicle was honed, closed a road, and then accelerated towards the protesters, says Michael Capochiano. Vehicle protesters shouted, and Foster approached the vehicle carrying a rifle, Capochiano recalled. Then, according to Capochiano, the driver squeezed a gun from the car window and fired several shots, hitting the rifle before hitting the man. But according to Foster's mother, the man 'got out of his car and started shooting and my son was shot three times'. Foster was later taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Sheila told GMA that she wouldn't be surprised if her son was carrying a gun because he had a license to carry it and probably 'felt the need to protect himself'. Read the full article
