Video shows Illinois police fatally shoot woman in her home

Illinois police have released bodycam footage showing the chaotic moments that led to the fatal shooting of a woman who had called 911 to report a suspected intruder at her home.

The killing of Sonya Massey, 36, over Independence Day weekend has led to criminal charges against the officer who opened fire, and drawn condemnation from the White House.

Sangamon County Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Grayson has been sacked from the police force and charged with murder and official misconduct.

He has pleaded not guilty to the charges. As of Monday, he was being held without bond.
