A Minneapolis police officer acted recklessly when he fatally shot a woman who had called 911 to report a possible rape near her home, a prosecutor told jurors in the former officer's trial. Assistant Hennepin County Attorney Patrick Lofton told jurors that Noor fired across his partner, Matthew Harrity, through an open driver's side window "without saying a word."

During opening statements, Noor's attorney, Peter Wold, told jurors the fatal shooting was a "perfect storm with tragic consequences." They must prove he acted unreasonably when he shot Damond.
