US: Minneapolis police officers identified in fatal shooting of Australian woman

Minnesota state officials released on Tuesday night the identities of two Minneapolis Police Department officers involved in the fatal shooting of a 40-year-old Australian woman who called 911 on Saturday.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Officer confirmed Monday that Ruszczyk died of a single gunshot wound to her abdomen after she was shot.
Harrity was interviewed by investigators Tuesday, but Noor declined to be interviewed, the DPS said. The Minnesota DPS Bureau of Criminal Apprehension cannot compel Noor to testify, and Noor's attorney did not provide clarification on when, if ever, an interview will take place.
Council member Linea Palmisano expressed her dissatisfaction with the information released so far, describing it as "underwhelming."
Damond told reporters Monday that Ruszczyk's death is a "loss to everyone who knew her."
