A DEATH IN THE VILLAGE BY THE BAY
On the afternoon of August 30th, a 47 year old woman named Etianna Planellas, who suffered from a mental illness identifed as Bi-Polar called the Miami Shores Police Department to inform them that she did not feel good and wanted to kill herself.
Within a matter of minutes after that call, Ms. Planellas, who was waiting for the police on the sidewalk in front of her home with a pellet pistol pointed to her head was shot 11 times by a Miami Shores police officer and died on that sidewalk in front of her mother, who had screamed at the cop that the pistol was a fake gun.
The following afternoon I went on the Miami Shores Village Community Facebook page to ask why no one had commented on this incident.

POST NUMBER 1
By Saturday afternoon I had written 4 separate posts that included video and audio clips raising questions on whether the story line that evolved following my first Facebook post that the shooting was an unfortunate response to a mentally ill woman who threatened the cop with what turnd out to be a pellet pistol was an acceptable result.
My investigation into what happened will continue, but in order to provide a permanent location for my various posts and back up material, I have decided to create this page, which will become a part of the series of stories I wrote about Miami Shores over the years.
