Police on Wednesday released new details of a Columbus, Ohio, police shooting in which authorities say a girl was shot by police while she attempted to stab two people.

Ma’Khia Bryant was killed in an incident that has attracted the condemnation of the White House as those closer to the scene have said the officer involved had little choice.

Coming on the heels of the guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial in Minneapolis and at a time when police shootings are under a national microscope, Columbus authorities released body camera video of the incident on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, they released additional footage as well as the 911 call that sent police to the scene.

Warning: the following video contains footage some viewers may find disturbing.
