A police officer in Ohio has shot dead a black teenage girl while responding to an attempted stabbing call.
The shooting happened in the state capital Columbus on Tuesday, the Columbus Dispatch newspaper reported.
Columbus police later produced bodycam footage of the incident, showing several people attacking a person before the girl was shot several times.
An inquiry is under way, with officials urging local residents to remain calm.
“This afternoon a young woman tragically lost her life. We do not know all of the details,” Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther tweeted.
“We will share information that we can as soon as it becomes available,” he added.
An angry crowd later gathered at the scene, US media reported.
