Gilliam told CNN she had taken the girls to get their nails done, and they were sitting in the parking lot with the car turned off when cops approached from behind. She says the officers had their weapons drawn and told them to put their hands out of the window and exit the vehicle. She adds ..."I have reached out to our victim advocates so we can offer age-appropriate therapy that the city will cover."
