Indigenous Realist's video: Korryn Gaines Remembering A Fallen Solidier Part 1

Open main menu  Subscribe For More 😢 Shooting of Korryn Gaine The shooting of Korryn Gaines occurred on August 1, 2016, in Randallstown, Maryland, near Baltimore,[1] resulting in the death of Gaines, a 23-year-old woman, and the shooting of her son, who survived. According to the Baltimore County Police Department, officers sought to serve Gaines a warrant in relation to an earlier traffic violation. She had refused to vacate her vehicle or show her driver's license, and resisted arrest. Immediately after entering to serve the warrant, Gaines' pointed a shotgun at the initial officer, prompting him to withdraw without shots being fired. The Baltimore County SWAT team responded and a standoff began. Portions of the standoff were filmed by Gaines and posted to social-media networking sites where you can see her loading the shotgun, announcing to all the police officers outside her house that she was attempting to protect her son and they had no right to try and break in her home; however, upon police request, Facebook deactivated Gaines' Facebook and Instagram accounts,[2] leading to criticism of the company's involvement in the incident.[3] In 2018, an all female jury awarded the Gaines family $38 million in damages after finding that the first shot, fired by Royce Ruby and killing Gaines, was not reasonable, and thus violated their civil rights.[4] That verdict was overturned in February 2019 by Judge Mickey Norman who ruled that physical evidence suggests Gaines' was raising her weapon when shot, thus posing a threat to Ruby and his team. Judge Norman described Ruby's actions as 'objectively reasonable'.[5] Shooting of Korryn GainesDateAugust 1, 2016Time3:00 p.m.LocationCarriage Hill Circle, Randallstown, Maryland, U.S.TypeShootingCausePolice serving bench warrant, leading to standoffFilmed byKorryn Gaines (filmed portions of the standoff)ParticipantsKorryn Gaines, Kodi Gaines, Baltimore police officers (names withheld)DeathsKorryn Gaines (age 23)Non-fatal injuriesKodi (Gaines' son, age 5)Publication bansUpon police request, Facebook deactivated Gaines' social media accounts (Facebook and Instagram) featuring live coverage of the standoff Background Shooting Reactions Legal proceedings References Last edited 2 months ago by 2600:1017:B124:CCA4:41C2:FB30:3326:6FA1  Content is available under CC BY-SA 3.0 unless otherwise noted.
