Colorado's district attorney is launching an investigation into an incident in which Aurora police drew their guns on a Black woman and four minors after mistaking her car for one that had been stolen
DA George Brauchler said in a statement on Friday that he has ordered his office to obtain and review all evidence related to the incident.On August 2, Brittney Gilliam was taking her 6-year-old daughter, 12-year-old sister and 14- and 17-year-old nieces to get their nails done. They were in the parking lot when Aurora police ordered them out of the car and on the ground at gunpoint during a stolen vehicle mix-up.
A Facebook video shows the children on the ground in a parking lot, surrounded by police. They can be heard crying in the video. Onlookers try to intervene and question police about pulling their guns on their girls."The confusion may have been due, in part, to the fact that the stopped car was reported stolen earlier in the year," Chief Vanessa Wilson had said earlier in a statement.
