Navajo President Calls For More Native Officers In Border Towns

Department of Public Safety authorities said on March 27, Winslow police officer Austin Shipley responded to a report of shoplifting at a local convenience store. When Shipley tried to arrest Loreal Tsingine, she threatened him with scissors, police said. Shipley then fired five shots at Tsingine, killing her.

“She didn’t deserve to be shot down five times,” said Floranda Dempsey, Tsingine’s aunt. “I mean who was he to be the judge, the juror and executioner?”
