A 17-year-old girl walked into the Longview, Texas police station. Then, only minutes later, police say they were “forced” to shoot and ? her, Thursday night. Now, the police have released surveillance footage that captured the final moments of Kristiana Coignard’s life.
Cognard walked into the empty lobby and approached the after-hours assistance phone.
“We don’t know how she got here,” Longview police officer Kristie Brian said.
Coignard was connected to dispatch, via the after-hours phone. Dispatch then sent officers out to confront her. But no one knows exactly what was said then.
Police, however, say that she “pulled a weapon” and “threatened” them.
We asked what weapon she brandished.
“I don’t know what kind it was, yes she did brandish a weapon,” Officer Brian said on Friday.
The teenage girl was pronounced dead by a justice of the peace after being taken to a local hospital.
Coignard had struggled with mental illness since her mother died when she was only four years old. She had been hospitalized for bipolar syndrome twice in recent years.
Her aunt, Heather Robertson, said that she had been on medication and seeing a counselor since she moved in with her family in December.
The video raises questions to many about whether police needed to shoot, and if they perhaps antagonized the situation, refusing to deescalate when the opportunities to do so presented themselves.
One officer seems to have had her immobilized and under control. Still, she was shot and killed.
Three officers were placed on administrative leave shortly after this incident

Shot the ? outta her.smh
-
was it a white girl or a black girl?
-
I don't understand why the cop didn't cuff her when he had her subdued. WTF.
-
-
So if they shot her because she had weapon why was the cop wrestling with her? Why are you wrestling with someone who has a deadly weapon. If you didn't know she had a weapon then you weren't doing your job correctly in the first place. That fat ass cop is unfit for the job. He handled that situation very poorly.

murder

Poor as ? man. Dude body slammed the ? out of her, was tossing her around like a ? rag doll, THEN ACTUALLY LETS HER UP (I can't get over that part) then as she stumbles towards him ( look at the ACTUAL distance between the two) he ? shoots her. That cop truly is a ? . -
They aren't even saying what kind of weapons she had? How can people find this acceptable?
-
It's wild. A teacher couldn't even back hand her for acting that way without getting ? and never hired again, but a cop can shoot her to death and get a paid vacation?
And there are waaaaaay more teachers actually trying to make a difference in the world.
"I decided to become a cop because I want to help the community". ? you be a guidance counselor then. -
Look at their body language afterwards as more enter and they discuss what just happened, specifically the trigger puller.
-
How could a big dude like that not takedown and handcuff a lil ass girl smh. Pos.
-
Why do they have these trash ass Paranormal Activity cameras.Audio would be nice in case something like this happens.
IDK what was going on.
This is her
-
Police are really exposing their incompetency these days smh.
-
Its one thing to be to incompetent but to completely held unacountable and exonerated is ? ridiculous. When you ? up at work do you get a paid vacation? If you can leave this country for some place better I'd go now cause ? is going to get real ugly real soon.
-
they shot her 4 times and not one of them attempted to do CPR. They executed that girl..and are still getting paid. I cant even begin to think how much worse it would've been for her if she was black.

-
If I was that girls dad I might be looking at a life sentence.
-
