This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sept 1 (Reuters) - An Ohio police department on Friday released body camera footage showing an officer fatally shooting a pregnant Black woman in the parking lot of a grocery store two weeks ago after she refused to exit her car and instead bumped him with her vehicle.
Video of the incident in Blendon Township on Aug. 24 followed demands by the family of the 21-year-old woman, Ta'Kiya Young, for the officer who fired the fatal shot to be held accountable.
"We demand accountability for two precious lives - Ta'Kiya and her unborn daughter," he said at a news briefing on Thursday.
The incident took place in the parking lot of a grocery store in Blendon, 15 miles (24 km) northeast of Columbus, the state's capital.
Video made public on Friday shows an officer standing next to Young's vehicle as he repeatedly orders her to get out.
Belford previously said on Facebook that police officers were called to the store to assist a shopper who was locked out of their vehicle.
