Bride-to-Be Called 911 Once, Then Again 8 Minutes Later

Justine Damond called 911 twice to report a possible sexual assault in progress before she was shot dead by one of the responding officers, according to transcripts released by Minneapolis on Wednesday. 

In the initial call, at 11:27pm Saturday night, the 40-year-old Australian said she feared somebody was being raped in an alley near her home, NBC reports. 

"It sounds like sex noises, but it's been going on for a while and I think she tried to say help and it sounds distressed," Damond said. She was told officers were on their way. Eight minutes later, Damond called 911 again. She told the operator she had reported an emergency, "but no one's here and was wondering if they got the address wrong."
