Arabella Foss-Yarbrough called the police last Wednesday night after her neighbor, Andrew "Tekle" Sundberg, allegedly fired shots into her apartment while she was cooking for her two young children.
The gunman was finally killed by two police snipers early Thursday morning.
From his apartment, a gun with an extended magazine and several empty shells were found.
"This is not like the George Floyd case. George Floyd did not have a gun. On Saturday, people saw Foss-Yarbrough yelling at a group of protesters, "This is not okay!" "In front of my kids, he tried to kill me."
Photos taken inside Foss-house Yarbrough's show multiple bullet holes in her front door, walls, and just above her bathroom sink.
No matter why Sundberg was shot, activists gathered in front of the building on Saturday to demand justice for him.
Foss-Yarbrough let loose on the protesters, who included Sundberg's parents, when she pulled her car up to the building.
“My kids have to deal with this and probably have a mental illness now because they almost lost their lives,” she said. “There’s bullet holes in my kitchen because he sat in the f–king hallway watching me move. He tried to kill me in front of my kids.”
Police in Minneapolis said they are working to get video of the shooting out to the public.
The police department said that more than 50 officers who went to the scene had recorded hundreds of hours of video.
Sundberg's family said that at the time of the shooting, he was having a mental health crisis.
CBS Minnesota says that the shooter, who was 20 years old, was adopted from Ethiopia and had many siblings.
When Foss-Yarbrough talked to the protesters, Sundberg's parents were outside the building. They said they could understand how their neighbor felt.
“I wish I could wrap my arms around her and tell her I’m so sorry,” Cindy Sundberg said. “I’m so sorry she had to experience that I’m so sorry for her pain.
“Tekle was an imperfect human as we are all imperfect humans and he did not deserve to be picked off like an animal from a rooftop,” his mother said.
