Interim Columbus Police Chief Michael Woods speaks during a news conference Wednesday about Tuesday’s fatal police shooting of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant, as she swung a knife at two other people in Columbus. Woods called the teenager’s death a tragedy that he “sure as hell” wishes hadn’t happened.
