Korryn Gaines, 23, was fatally shot in 2016 after a 3-hour standoff in her Baltimore neighborhood — and now a jury has awarded over $37 million to her family! Shocking streamed footage showed her filming a 5-year-old child as an armed policeman stood in her apartment. She'd previously [inset] had the child film her loading her shotgun!
This video captures the moment where a SWAT team member stands in the hallway while Gaines talks to her son. Officers had arrived to serve arrest warrants on Gaines and the man who lived with her. "Who's outside?" she asks the child, who whispers, "The police" — adding, "They're trying to kill us." Gaines then continued to film the officer at the entrance of her apartment.

Her live-in fiancé, Kareem Courtney, had fled when the officers first arrived, but was later caught. He had a 1-year-old child with him. Police Chief Jim Johnson said that Gaines had outstanding warrants for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and numerous traffic violations.

Tragically, police reports say that Gaines announced at 3 p.m. on August 1, 2016, that she was ready to kill the officers. The gun battled ended up with Gaines dead and the child wounded — with the woman having kept the child at her side.

Gaines' death sparked protests in Baltimore, with activists saying that she had been trying to comfort her son — and not use him as a human shield during the gunfight. Gaines' uncle had told reporters that the 5-year-old in the video was her child.
