The Black Lives Matter activist Sasha Johnson was shot in the head after four men forced their way into a birthday party she was attending and a scuffle broke out, police have said. “We know there was an organised party taking place in the back garden of an address in Consort Road. Police said on Tuesday they were unaware of any death threats Johnson may have received before the shooting. Our thoughts are with the family of Sasha Johnson who are being supported by specially trained officers.”After the shooting, BLM said Johnson had been the target of death threats. The TTIP statement said Johnson was in critical care recovering from surgery to treat her injuries.
