#deborahdanner "According to the New York Daily News, a neighbor who lived in Danner's apartment building called police Tuesday to report that the 66-year-old woman was acting βin an irrational manner.β When police arrived, they reportedly found Danner holding a pair of scissors and threatening police, but one of the officers, Sgt. Hugh Barry was able to convince Danner to drop them. Shortly after though, Danner allegedly grabbed a baseball bat and "lunged" at him, at which point Barry, an eight-year veteran of the New York Police Department, shot her twice in the torso, according to Patrol Borough Bronx commanding officer Assistant Chief Larry Nikunen. She died in hospital from her injuries. The NYPD did not immediately respond to Romper's request for comment." #blackonblackbk #RFRMD #blacklivesmatter #sayhername (at BedfordβStuyvesant, Brooklyn)
