After Damond died Jimenez sought and received permission from Damond’s family to release the footage and this has been shared by the Guardian. Damond, originally from Sydney, was on her way to teach a meditation class at the Lake Harriet Spiritual Centre when she saw the trapped ducklings. On the video she is shown gathering the ducklings and persuading the mother of the ducklings to walk over the road for a family reunion. “Guess what, I just rescued eight ducklings,” Damond later texted the centre’s administrator, Nancy Coune. Police said the partner of the officer who reportedly killed Damond, Mohamed Noor, was startled by a “loud sound”.
