'‘Stop shooting! Stop shooting': Black Panther Fred Hampton's then-girlfriend remembers the night he was assassinated. Watch 'The FBI and the Panther' TONIGHT at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.
Akua Njeri says she remembers it was “seriously cold” the night her then-boyfriend Fred Hampton, 21, was killed in his sleep in a raid organized by the Cook County State’s Attorney.
“The pig responded ‘Tommy Gun’ and kicked in the door and began spraying,” Njeri said. Clark was shot in the chest and died, according to the coroner’s grand jury testimony. She said it felt like the shooting lasted for hours when it was only minutes because “you don’t know if you’re going to live or die.”
She said she saw “two lines of police, they were laughing. [They] grabbed me by the top of my head, slung me to the kitchen area.” “I did see Defense Captain Mark Clark laying on the floor in the living room in a pool of blood,” she said.
