The Chief of Minneapolis Police has quit, saying the killing of Australian Justine Damond has caused her to step aside for a ‘fresh set of leadership eyes’.
In a statement posted on the Minneapolice police department’s website, Janee Harteau said the tragedy had caused to ‘engage in deep reflection’.
Her resignation comes just a day after she implored the officer behind the shooting, Mohamed Noor, to come forward and speak about the incident.
Chief Harteau has been criticised for remaining on holidays for four days after Ms Damond was killed.
Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges said in a statement she had lost confidence in Chief Harteau.
