Kansas City police shot a black woman who was reportedly pregnant multiple times as they searched for a stolen vehicle on Friday.
Authorities say officers in two cars were following up on a call about an armed carjacking just before 8pm on Friday, after dispatchers provided the officers with a description of the vehicle and license plate.
The officers then apparently spotted the vehicle with two suspects inside at the parking lot of a Family Dollar store at Sixth and Prospect Avenues in Kansas City, and approached it.
At that point, authorities say, the male driver fled northeast as two officers pursued, and 26-year-old Leonna Hale stepped out of the car and allegedly told officers there was a gun in the car.
Two officers proceeded to fire at Hale, authorities say, and she suffered serious injuries and was taken to a local hospital - where she is reportedly in stable condition.
Video taken by a witness nearby showed her lying on the ground in a pool of blood as more officers arrived on the scene - and one handcuffed her.
The woman who took the video, who only identified herself as Shedanja to the Kansas City Star, said Hale had her hands up and informed the officers at the scene that she was pregnant before they shot.
The male suspect, who has not yet been named, meanwhile, was also brought to a local hospital for an unrelated medical issue, KCTV reports.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol is now investigating the shooting, as it is protocol for an outside agency to investigate officer-involved shootings and, FOX 4 reports, the two officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave.

The cops are quick to shoot a pregnant woman in the back but it takes them 78 minutes to confront an active shooter killing kids?
Not a good look.
reportedly pregnant multiple times .....
does this mean she had many children and/or abortions in her life or does it mean that the is carrying quadruplets/septuplets etc???
It means journalists know nothing about grammar.
She must have a big family!

Kansas City police shot a black woman who was reportedly pregnant multiple times ..... Uhhhhh.........>>>>>
She was brandishing her fetus , a deadly weapon and was shot by police.
There is a huge gap in this story. She must have been armed either with a gun or a knife.
Hands up, don’t shoot.........where have we heard that before?
Cops are using weasel words “there was a gun near the car” but won’t say the woman shot had it. That is almost always a sign that she didn’t.
This is going to turn out to be a bad shoot.
We shall see. On the surface this looks to be an MSM orgy ready to go.
I kind of hope so. We’re trying to save babies and these cops get trigger happy.
Local reporting...
Wonder if the cops were wearing bodycams...
[It means journalists know nothing about grammar.]
Wasn’t he in Cheers?
Yeah who writes this stuff. How did the know this black wombman was pregnant multiple time?
On the other hand, unjustified shooting if we have all the info. Which I doubt.
Yep.. she said there was a gun in the car and cops shot her....
Shedanya was the witness. Guessing that’s where she was conceived..the shed.
“...and 26-year-old Leonna Hale stepped out of the car and allegedly told officers there was a gun in the car.”
Betting she reached for it once or twice, whether it was for bad reasons or not.
If there are people riding around in a carjacked car, and they meet the descriptions of the carjackers, fire at will.
Our Great Grandparents hung horse thieves without a trial and we turned out OK.
Hey, the cops were just committing abortion.
This is how it works now, right?
LOL!
I was wondering about her being “pregnant multiple times”, too. Very bad writing.
It's conceivable she didn't put her hands up when she got out of the carjacked car, after the guy took off. And it's conceivable that it wasn't obvious she was pregnant. If she was.
The one assertion I don't see is a statement that the vehicle was her car. So I conclude for now that it wasn't, and she was one of the carjackers, and the newsies are trying to spin the story as if she were an innocent bystander (in someone else's car?) and the cops were just crazy.
I'm withholding judgment, if that's okay. . .
