Training limits officer’s choice for deadly force By ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS - Associated Press 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. COLUMBUS — The second-guessing of a Columbus police officer who shot and killed a 16-year-old girl Tuesday as she swung a knife toward another girl began just seconds after the last shot, as bystanders demanded to know why the officer had fired his gun. It continued on social media as observers questioned why a stun gun wasn’t used, why the officer didn’t try to shoot the girl in the leg instead, or why he didn’t try to otherwise disarm her.
