The shooting of an unarmed woman by two Connecticut police officers who opened fire on a car that she was riding in has prompted angry protests over the incident, which the mayor of New Haven called "police activity gone horribly wrong." Stephanie Washington, 22, was was shot in the face early Tuesday morning in New Haven when an officer from the neighboring town of Hamden and another from Yale University unleashed a barrage of gunfire on the red Honda Civic that her boyfriend was driving, authorities said. The shooting unfolded at about 4:20 a.m. on Tuesday after Hamden police responded to a call of an attempted armed robbery at a gas station in Hamden, according to state police.A car matching the description of the one leaving the scene of the attempted robbery was spotted on Dixwell Avenue in New Haven, state police said. This car turned out to be the Civic that Washington and Witherspoon were in. Eaton with help from Pollock blocked the car and the driver exited the vehicle, State Trooper Josue Dorelus told reporters on Tuesday. Both Eaton, who drove up in a police SUV, and Pollock then opened fire. Video from a nearby surveillance camera,obtained by WTNH-TV shows Eaton jumping out of his SUV and firing into the driver's side door before running down the street. The video does not show Pollack, who was firing in front of the car, authorities said. The video also appears to contradict initial statements from state police that Witherspoon exited the car as soon as the officers stopped him. State police said neither Washington nor her boyfriend were armed and no weapons were found in the car. _____ Me🗯: They still murdering our kids no matter what they have on, how they speak, if they dont run, if they dont resist, all the shit yall cowards claim thats supposed to save black life. Anybody who continues to speak this bullshit rhetoric AFTER we've seen in the modern era people like #philandocastile murdered for no reason and countless stories of black people just like #stephaniewashington being murdered by white kkkops, is a fucking traitor to our people and should be treated as such. _____ #teamrob #unifyordie #practicalblackconsciousness #decolonizeyourmind https://www.instagram.com/p/BwbPWDhn20A/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19mwbivddurc1
