MINNEAPOLIS - A former Minneapolis police officer was sentenced to 12-1/2 years in prison on Friday for the fatal shooting of an Australian woman nearly two years ago after she had called police to report a possible sexual assault.

“I apologize for taking the life of a perfect person who was so dear to them,” he said. “I caused this tragedy and it is my burden.” “The law does not allow license because someone is a good person,” Quaintance said in passing the a sentence before a hushed courtroom. “Good people sometimes do bad things.”

Several of Noor’s friends and family members, most of them Somali, gathered in the courthouse lobby afterward to protest the sentence.
