Woman Who was Among 1st to Sue over Flint Water Crisis Shot Dead
----------------------------------------------------------------

One of the first people to file a lawsuit in connection with the water
poisoning crisis in Flint, Michigan, has been shot to death. Sasha
Avonna Bell said her child had been poisoned with lead after an
emergency manager appointed by Governor Rick Snyder switched the city's
water to the corrosive Flint River. Bell was one of two women found shot
to death last week at a townhouse. She was 19 years old.
