Two Seattle police officers shot Charleena Lyles, a pregnant woman, seven times in her Northwest Seattle apartment, after she called 9-1-1 to report a burglary. Police said they fired after Lyles confronted them with a knife but Lyles' family questioned that account. Lyles may have suffered from mental illness, having experienced a decline in her mental health leading up to the fatal encounter.Inquest proceedings began in 2019.
