Was State Police Shooting of Wendy Lawrence Justified?

On Sept. 30 State Police shot and killed Wendy Lawrence of Canterbury following a high-speed chase.

Lawrence, 45, was a habitual offender and fled after she was pulled over by a State Trooper on I-89 south and fled the scene, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General's office. The high-speed chase ended in Manchester when a State Trooper fired his gun and hit Lawrence four times, including the fatal shot to her chest.
