EARLIER: RANDALLSTOWN, Md. — The Latest on the fatal shooting of a black woman in a gunfire exchange with police that also injured a young boy (all times local):
1:30 p.m.
Authorities say an armed black woman fatally shot during a standoff with police had previously refused to get out of her car during a traffic stop in March, saying officers would have to “murder” her.
Authorities say officers killed 23-year-old Korryn Gaines on Monday after an exchange of gunfire that also wounded a 5-year-old boy. It’s not clear who shot the boy, who is expected to recover.
Police say they were serving Gaines an arrest warrant Monday at an apartment for failure to appear in court on disorderly conduct and resisting arrest charges.
On March 10, court documents say that when an officer told Gaines to get out her car because it was being towed for a suspended registration, she said officers would have to “murder” her. The documents say she held an infant and her young son on her lap as she spoke.
Documents say an officer stopped a Toyota Camry that bore cardboard notes instead of license plates. The cardboard “plates” said: “Free Traveler” and “Any Government official who compromises this pursuit of happiness and right to travel will be held criminally responsible and fined, as this is a natural right and freedom.”
Police said she had to be pulled from the car.

This was truly a dumb ass woman! What was she thinking?
WHAT A DUMB ASS WOMAN!
She had a mental illness similar to the boy that shot up the church but instead of being killed gets a go fund me page and a free housing and food from the government
This woman is/was ridiculous. Who does she think she is? What a wonderful example to those poor kids. She must have lead a very sad life to be so pathetic and paranoid.
Gee, I know a lot of white guys round cheer that feel the same ways. wonder if the cops oulda shot dem. So if its a Ruby Ridge or a Waco, the government is at fault, but if it is a black gal in a car, who was pretty stupid, I will stipulate, it’s her fault?It’s justiied? Oh, and lest there be any doubt, I am a white conservative.

Well the positive to this story is she can’t breed anymore. I would have tasered her ass about two minutes into this ordeal. They are f**king inherently stupid.
What a stupid woman, and these kinds of people should never be raising children and teaching them this trash from an early age.
I hope these children are adopted by law inforcement parents that will teach them a better way
