Jury selection has begun in the trial of a former Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot an unarmed Australian woman after she called 911 to report a possible sexual assault behind her home. 9News
About 75 potential jurors filled out a questionnaire in a half-day session. The court will convene again Wednesday to give attorneys time to go through the answers ahead of directly questioning potential jurors.
The officers did not turn on their body cameras until after the shooting, and there was no squad car video. The shooting also raised questions about the training of Noor, a Somali American whose arrival on the force about two years earlier had been celebrated by city leaders and Minnesota's large Somali community. Noor had previously worked in property management.
