Half-brother of black man found hanged from tree in California killed by deputies in shootout
"Boone allegedly kidnapped a woman and held her against her will for several days, the sheriff’s department told FOX 11 in Los Angeles.
When authorities attempted to stop Boone’s car in Rosamond, Calif., just north of the Los Angeles County border Wednesday around 4:30 p.m., he opened the car door and started shooting at officers, the department said.
Deputies said they returned fire and killed Boone. A woman who was in the car was shot in the chest in the crossfire but is expected to survive. A 7-year-old girl who was also a passenger was uninjured. The woman in the car wasn’t the accuser in the spousal assault case, authorities said. It's not clear what her relationship or the 7-year-old's was to Boone."
If true...seems justified.
Turns out this is fake news.
ABC reports that a local resident put those ropes up weeks ago for exercise.
The Police Department provided five photographs of trees, some of which showed knotted ropes and one that appeared to have a piece of plastic pipe attached to a rope, hanging from tree limbs.Victor Sengbe, who is black, told KGO-TV that the ropes were part of a rigging that he and his friends used as part of a larger swing system. He also shared video of the swing in use.
