Columbus, Ohio officer who killed Ma’Khia Bryant was trained in military marksmanship
The Columbus, Ohio police officer who fatally shot 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant on Tuesday, Nicholas Reardon, is an active duty US Air National Guardsmen trained as an expert marksman, it was revealed Thursday.
Police quickly released body cam footage of the incident earlier this week which shows Reardon approaching an altercation between a group of young people in a driveway. Bryant, facing away from the officer, can be seen pushing another female to the ground before Reardon drew his weapon and repeatedly shouted “get down.” After Bryant, armed with knife, turned to fight another woman, Reardon fired four times into Bryant. She died shortly after.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Knox County Schools' Superintendent said he cannot shake feelings of helplessness after Monday's officer-involved shooting at Austin-East Magnet High School.
Classes at the high school were canceled in light of the shooting, which has now been extended out to Monday, April 19. Students are scheduled to move to online-only learning on Tuesday and Wednesday. 
Today, Austin-East students will return to school for the first full day of classes since the shooting.
"Do what's best for you and your family," school board member Evetty Satterfield said. "If you have kids that want to come and be with their teachers, we're here and our doors are open. If you have kids that need that time to process what happened and take care of themselves, do that as well."
