Ironically, it was Williams who committed the only other killing by a Beavercreek police officer when he responded to a domestic call and shot a popular retired Air Force officer, Scott Brogli. Williams arrived at the Walmart after a dispatcher received a 911 call but did not verify or screen the information received from the caller. The Walmart shooting was so traumatic that it also resulted in the death of Angela Williams , 37, of Fairborn, who had a previous medical condition. Ms. Williams was a mother of 5 children and two step children.
OHIO -- Tamir Rice:
In Cleveland on November 22, 12 year-old, Tamir Rice was immediately shot to death when police arrived at the Cudell Recreation Center. You can the caller in the 911 audio tell the dispatcher, Beth Mandl, that Rice was a "juvenile" and the air rifle he had was not a real gun but "probably fake".
The video below shows Officer Timothy Loehmann shooting the 12 year old after Loehmann and his partner race to the scene and he gets out of the police car. The officers then arrested Rice's traumatized sister.
The Cleveland Police Dept. came under fire when reporters discovered that the dispatcher who failed to relay key information had been previously fired from her first dispatcher job and Loehmann had previously been found unfit for the small Independence Ohio police force due to his emotional and performance problems.
