#BREAKING: Authorities have issued a correction to the #GreenwoodParkMall shooting timeline. Police say the moment the suspect exited the restroom/began shooting, until he was shot by a 22YO man, was 15 seconds, not 2 minutes. #Update
"The surveillance video shows Sapirman exit the restroom at 5:56:48pm. He was neutralized by Dicken at 5:57:03pm. This error was simply a result of misreading notes during the conference. I feel the need to correct this immediately," said GPD Chief James Ison.
During a press conference, authorities said the suspect fired 24 times and the Good Samaritan, 10. According to the Johnson County Coroner, the autopsy shows the suspect was shot 8 times, none of which were self-inflicted. #Update
I spoke with Breasia’s mom today. She shared a statement. In part Aishia wrote, “60 days. I go to bed worried and wake up so much more angrier than the last day like words could never tell someone what I’m going through it’s so bad.” You can read more here:kwqc.com/2020/09/10/sea…
Aishia told me this is the last photo she took of her baby “Bree.” She says it was the night before she went to Henry Dinkins house, a person of interest in the case. He has not been charged in her disappearance but is labeled on an Amber Alert as her ‘abductor.’
