The US is on track to record the lowest level of mass killings, including deadly shootings, in two decades. Causes of violence are complex, but prevention programs and community health may play a role in the shift. #shootings #MassKillings #data #GoodNews

According to body-camera video that is certain to play a key role in the trial, Grayson & Massey joked about how the deputy backed away as she moved the pan before Massey said, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.” Grayson later told sheriff’s investigators he thought Massey’s statement meant she intended to kill him, yelled at her to drop the pot & in the subsequent commotion, fired 3 shots, striking her just below the eye.

The incident has prompted continued questions about #US #LawEnforcement #shootings of #Black people in their homes & generated a change in #Illinois #law requiring fuller transparency on the background of candidates for law enforcement jobs.
A jury of 10 women & 5 men, including 3 alternates, will hear testimony that’s predicted to end next week.
