More info as it becomes available






Update:
In an unprecedented move, Columbus police showed body camera footage of the shooting of a 16-year-old girl by a Columbus police officer just hours after the incident on the Southeast Side.

The video shows an officer approaching a driveway with a group of young people standing there. In the video, it appears that the 16-year-old, identified now as Ma’Khia Bryant, who was moments later shot by police, pushes or swings at a person, who falls to the ground.

Bryant then appears to swing a knife at a girl who is on the hood of a car, and the officer fires his weapon what sounds like four times, striking Bryant, who died a short time later.


It's a tragic day in the city of Columbus. It's a horrible, heartbreaking situation," Mayor Andrew J. Ginther. "We felt transparency in sharing this footage, as incomplete as it is at this time" was critical.

Franklin County Children's Services confirmed on Tuesday night that the girl killed was 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant and that she was in foster care and in the custody of Children's Services.



Columbus police stressed that the Bureau of Criminal Investigation is leading the investigation into the case, but the city wanted to release the body camera to give the public more information.

Interim Columbus Police Chief Michael Woods said officers are authorized to use deadly force to protect themselves or a third party. He said the investigation still needs to be completed to determine if the actions of the officers were justified. He said the officer, who was not named, has been placed on administrative leave.

Columbus Public Safety Director Ned Pettus Jr. urged the public to be patient as the investigation continues, and city officials again called for peace.

"She could be my grandchild," said Pettus. "In any way you look at this, it's a tragedy."

What the fµck?!!! The laws need to be changed so that cops who get sued for the violent crimes they commit have to pay out of pocket. And qualified immunity needs to be re-examined.

We need to lobby for better laws. Politics is the answer.

The article stated she was trying to stab someone.


Edit: Apparently this was a case of bullying and she was just trying to defend herself with the knife. I just.... Wow. Just wow.

We need to start retaliating, this is unacceptable, it should be added that this girl is Black
I agree, they just don't learn. I think they also need to be stripped of whatever clause or agreement there is that is keeping them safe because they get away with too much. And when the trials start they shouldn't get paid leave.

That's false, she called the police because ppl were trying to jump her in front of her home, the knife was self defense, the officer pulled up and shot at her immediately....also this is a child, even if she did try and stab him they are trained in how to non-lethally avoid such attacks

I thought I was the only one who noticed that. I need more information about this shooting before giving my opinion. I’m not one of those people who assume EVERY single shooting of a black person is police brutality. If the police are wrong, I will condemn the police. If the person who was shot was wrong, I will condemn him or her.

Yeah, same here but according to serveral fonts it looks like this was/is a case of bullying and the police over reacted.

The original article made it seem like she was just whirling a knife around and trying to mug someone so they shot her.

With the information presented, I'm sad for this child. Four girls showed up to her house to jump her and she called the police, but was shot right away because she had a knife? Wow. This is sad and exhausting.

ETA After watching the footage, I see things were different than presented. It's horrible. Just sad, traumatizing and disturbing.

Grown white men have had guns pointed at cops, and even shot at cops, and survived.

This baby simply having a knife is NOT cause enough to murder her. If no one was in imminent danger, they should’ve done their fµck!ng job by assessing and deescalating the situation.

It should not be acceptable to ride up with guns blasting. This is sounding like what happened to Tamir Rice.

Poor girl she was just trying to protect herself and the people she was supposed to call for help when you're in danger failed her. May she rest in peace.

I haven't even heard about this yet and I'm from Columbus, but I feel like I know where this is at. Let me watch my local news so I can figure this out, but sadly I am neither shocked nor surprised. The CPD ain't sh!t and never will be.

the fact that some of the ppl in this thread needed this CHILD to be proved innocent to defend her right to not be killed by cops...ya'll need to do some reflecting. Even if the CHILD was guilty she doesn't derserve to lose her life that is a baby!!

Pieces of the story is coming out and It all points to that Makiyah Bryant yes did have a knife in her hand for self defense after a group of grls and apparently a grown ass woman showed up to her house to jump her she called the police for help and the officer shot her in the chest 4 to 5 times RIP Makiyah Bryant
