""We had whistles. They had guns," Becca Good said in a written statement Friday that was provided to Minnesota Public Radio. The statement was her first public comment about the death of Renee Good, 37, who was killed Wednesday after three Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers surrounded her Honda Pilot SUV on a snowy street a few blocks from the couple's home. Video taken by bystanders show an officer approaching the SUV stopped across the middle of the road, demanding the driver open the door and grabbing the handle."
"Trump administration officials have painted Renee Good as a domestic terrorist who tried to run over an officer with her vehicle. State and local officials in Minneapolis, as well as protesters, have rejected that characterization. Becca Good has not responded to calls and messages from The Associated Press. Her statement provided no further detail about the day of the shooting and instead focused on memorializing her wife."
"The couple had only recently moved to Minneapolis and were raising Renee Good's 6-year-old son from a previous marriage. Becca said Renee was a Christian who "knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole." She thanked the people all across America and the world who had reached out in support of their family. "Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled," Becca Good wrote. "I mean, she didn't wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming"
