April 20 (UPI) -- Authorities in Columbus, Ohio, released body camera footage and 911 calls from an incident in which a police officer fatally shot a teenage girl while responding to a disturbance call at a residence.
Police on Wednesday said Columbus officer Nicholas Reardon shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant after she was seen attacking another female with a knife on Tuesday afternoon.
"I wish to hell it hadn't happened," interim police Chief Michael Woods said.
During a news conference Tuesday night, Woods released graphic body-worn camera footage of the shooting, saying the Reardon shot the girl as she was attempting to stab someone.
