The Minneapolis Police Department has released transcripts of the 911 calls placed by a bride-to-be moments before a responding officer shot her to death.
Justine Ruszczyk, a 40-year-old Australian native, placed her first call to 911 Saturday night, July 15, at 11:27 p.m. local time to report what she believed was a sexual assault occurring near her home in Minneapolis’s Fulton neighborhood.
“I can hear someone out the back and I—I’m not sure if she’s having sex or being raped,” Ruszczyk tells the 911 operator, according to the transcript released by police.
“It’s been going on for a while and I think she tried to say help and it sounds distressed,” she adds.
“OK, I’ve already got an officer on the way,” the 911 operator tells her.
