Harrity's attorney: 'Reasonable' to believe Noor feared ambush when he shot Justine Damond

July 19, 2017 — 3:48pm


The attorney for Minneapolis police officer Matthew Harrity, said Wednesday that “it’s certainly reasonable” to assume that police believed they might be the target of a possible ambush when his partner, officer Mohamed Noor, shot and killed Justine Damond in a south Minneapolis alley Saturday night.

Fred Bruno declined to discuss the ongoing investigation into the incident, which has drawn national and international attention and stirred community unrest and demands for answers as to why Noor, 31, shot the 40-year-old spiritual healer from Australia.

“It’s certainly reasonable to assume that any police officer would be concerned about a possible ambush under these circumstances,” Bruno said. “It was only a few weeks ago when a female NYPD cop and mother of twins was executed in her car in a very similar scenario.”

Bruno was referencing the case of New York City police officer Miosotis Familia, 48, who was killed July 5 after a mentally ill man shot her in the head while she sat in a mobile command post in the Bronx.
