An awful story from Ohio - During a drug raid, Officer Chavalia stormed a house, saw a shadow, feared for his life, shot into a bedroom where a woman and her six children were hiding. The woman was killed and the baby she was holding was shot but survived. From the article: "Chavalia, an officer of 32-years, had testified that he thought his life was in danger when he fired the shots. He said he saw a shadow coming from behind a partially open bedroom door and heard gunshots that he thought were aimed at him. It turned out the gunfire he heard was coming from downstairs, where officers shot two charging pit bulls....'It's another example that there's very low value on black lives in this community,' said Jason Upthegrove, president of the Lima [NAACP]'
