A Colorado district attorney says she will investigate the actions of Aurora police who drew their guns and ordered Black girls and women to get on the ground face-first after mistaking the minivan they were in for a stolen vehicle.
The girls, ages 6 to 17, were with Brittney Gilliam, 29, mother to one of them, aunt to others, as well as Gilliam's sister when police stopped them in a parking lot Sunday based on the belief that the minivan they were in was stolen, according to family, police and Gilliam's lawyer.The girls were headed to get their nails done when they were ordered face down on the ground by officers with guns drawn, Gilliam said.
Aurora police Chief Vanessa Wilson said in a statement Friday that she shares"the concern over what transpired, which is why I immediately ordered an internal affairs investigation." The department said in an earlier statement to NBC News that officers believed the minivan was stolen because it shared the plate number of a stolen motorcycle.
When the officers realized the stolen motorcycle had plates from a different state, they “unhandcuffed everyone involved, made efforts to explain what happened, and apologized,” public information officer Faith Goodrich said in the statement.
