31 MAY 2022 Horrified witnesses claimed Leonna Hale had been trying to cooperate before she was gunned down and handcuffed on the ground as blood seeped through her white t-shirt. Onlookers wailed as they repeated claims from the woman that she was pregnant, with one claiming: ‘She did not pull out a weapon on them.’
2 JUNE 2022 Where’s the ENTIRE bodycam footage? Wildly suspicious, to say the least, considering the source. ONE Still Photo from alleged police bodycam APPEARS to show moment Leonna Hale, 26, ‘aimed her gun at police’ before she was shot five times then handcuffed while bleeding through her white shirt.
She did not pull out a weapon on them. She did not even have a stick in her hand. One, two, three, four five. I remember it because it didn’t stop. They shot five times. I remember seeing her hit the ground and I froze. They got her in handcuffs while they shot her y’all. I stopped here to get some gas, y’all, and my son just watched this. My one-year-old son just watched this. My 10-year-old son just watched this. And my 13-year-old son just watched this. She was fixing to cooperate. She got scared, she ran down there, they shot her. She ran and they shot at her one, two, three, four.
She Danja, medical assistant
One witness She Danja slammed officers for their handling of the incident. She told the Kansas City Star the officers fired at Hale five times. She said she first heard officers yelling ‘get out of the car’ to two people who were in the vehicle parked next to hers and the male driver fled before Hale exited her vehicle with her hands up. Officers swooped on her and told her to get on the ground but she said she was pregnant and could not lie down.
She Danja was quickly asked to move on by the officers but hit back that her sons were still in the store getting ice cream.
She shared the video on Facebook, writing: ‘When she got out the car she put her hands up and was talking to them to show she didn’t have a weapon in her hand!!!
‘She did run three steps away when she got scared at them all coming towards her with guns in her face. That’s when she was shot that many times.
‘Keep in mind, they chased her [boyfriend] who jumped out of the vehicle and he was captured unharmed… while she was left there in the street literally still near the vehicle she got out of.
‘I’m literally in shock the whole video!’ she wrote. ‘I’m a whole medical assistant, and it’s literally not how you handle a gunshot victim who’s pregnant.’
