Washington State Police Shoot, Kill Pregnant Mother of Three
------------------------------------------------------------

In Washington state, police shot and killed a pregnant mother of three
inside her home on the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation Friday night.
Twenty-three-year-old Renee Davis died after a pair of King County
sheriff's deputies opened fire on her. In a statement, the Sheriff's
Department said Davis was armed with a handgun. Davis's foster sister
said police were conducting a "wellness check" after receiving a report
that Davis was suicidal. A recent investigation by In These Times
magazine found that Native Americans were more likely to be killed by
police than any other group in the United States.
