[NBC] An officer fatally shot a pregnant woman who police suspected of shoplifting Thursday night in an Ohio grocery store parking lot after officials say she accelerated her car toward an officer.
Blendon Township
...a suburb of Columbus, Ohio... | Police Chief John Belford called the shooting a "tragedy" and an "unfortunate loss of life" in a video statement.
The chief did not identify the woman or disclose she was pregnant, but the Franklin County Coroner’s Office identified her as 21-year-old Ta’kiya Young and confirmed she was pregnant.
The office said she was pronounced dead shortly before 7:45 p.m. Thursday.
While Blendon Township officers were helping a driver who was locked out of her car outside a Kroger, a store employee told officers about a theft by someone who was fleeing, the chief said.
