Minneapolis police Chief quits after officer shot unarmed woman

Minneapolis police Chief Janee Harteau has resigned at the request of the mayor, who said she lost confidence in her after an unarmed Australian woman was shot dead by a police officer.

Ms Harteau said: "I've decided I am willing to step aside to let a fresh set of leadership eyes see what more can be done for the MPD (Minneapolis Police Department) to be the very best it can be."
