A woman was shot and killed by a Minneapolis police officer on Saturday after she called 911 to report a possible assault near her home just before midnight, authorities said.

The woman was fatally struck near her home in Minneapolis' Fulton neighborhood after two police officers responded to the 911 call around 11:30 p.m. local time, according to authorities.

Officials have not released the woman's identity, but ABC's Minnesota affiliate, KSTP, identified her as Justine Damond, a 40-year-old Australian native who had been living in the area with her fiance. The two were planning to get married next month, according to KSTP.

"My mom is dead because a police officer shot her for reasons I don't know," her stepson, Zach Damond, told KSTP on Sunday.

The Minneapolis Police Department told ABC News on Sunday that both officers were placed on paid administrative leave, pending investigation of the shooting.
 

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which is investigating the shooting along with the MPD, said that the officers' body cameras and the squad camera were not on at the time. Investigators are working to determine whether any video of the shooting exists, the department said.

I think officers who don't have on their cameras should be fired. Actually make it even better as soon as the cops turn on the flashing lights the cameras come on.

But they were Black. Now in this case, there are no cameras. Its will be extremely difficult to convict beyond a reasonable doubt. But watch how white folks justice works...

Cops rarely get convicted for shooting anyone.
 
They're going to use him as a sacrificial lamb to show us how tough they are on cops.

Also, this whole things stinks and it seems like a hit on this lady or on the son.

She is affluent and was about to marry a very rich business owner(I think in casinos). There's more to this than an accidental shooting.
