In a press conference, Sean Case, the Anchorage police chief, stated that officers responded to the situation after a distressed call about a family disturbance involving a knife.
Leafa's family recounted the shooting differently, describing that they only asked her to put the knife down once before she was shot three times by the officers.
Jharrett Bryantt, the Anchorage school district superintendent, emphasized that support would be made available to students and staff following the tragic incident involving Leafa.
Police reports indicated that this incident marks the sixth officer-involved shooting in Anchorage since mid-May, raising concerns about community safety and police response.
