  • Mom screams at BLM protesting police shooting

    MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (FOX 9) - What started as a rally for a man shot and killed by Minneapolis Police quickly took a turn after the mother of two nearly hit by bullets while inside her apartment showed up to share her story on Saturday afternoon.

    Arabella Yarbrough was cooking food for her children Wednesday night when she says Tekle Sundberg fired bullets into their home, nearly hitting them. Police responded and helped Yarbrough escape when according to police, Sundberg also fired at officers. That led to a six-hour standoff outside the building that lasted until MPD snipers killed the 20-year-old early the next morning.

    "I literally had five minutes to live while he had six hours to choose life or death. The police stated they did not want to kill him," Yarbrough told Fox 9.

    She confronted activists at a protest for Sundberg and against police violence on Saturday. A Fox 9 news crew was at the scene.

    For Yarbrough, Sundberg’s case is different from those of other well-known Black people killed by police.

    "That man was armed. George Floyd was not armed. Breonna Taylor was not armed. Amir Locke he was armed and he had his own guns but they came into his home while he's licensed to carry and killed him. He did not...fire. This man intentionally tried to kill us," said Yarbrough.

    Both Yarbrough and Sundberg's family say things could have ended differently if he was able to get the mental health support he needed. His parents, Cindy and Mark Sundberg, adopted Tekle from Ethiopia when he was just four years old.

    "My heart goes out to that woman (Yarbrough). She went through a very traumatic event with those bullets coming through her house," said Mark Sundberg.

      Do you think BLM will care? They were telling her to shut up...

        Based on how they reacted to the Mother and the history of the who's deaths they start protests for, I for one am going start referring to this group a OBCLM(Only Black Criminals Lives Matter.)

        So, not to anyone's surprise, BLM set up a gofundme drive for the cretin's family.

        This then spurred on a gofundme drive for the single mother to counter it. The two sides have been in a contest to see who can out fund raise who.

        GoFundMe For Suspected Gunman's Family Hits $20,000

        GoFundMe has allowed a fundraiser for the family of a now-deceased Minneapolis shooting suspect to reach $20,000 - despite the donation platform removing similar campaigns for Kyle Rittenhouse and Jose Alba - both of whom acted in self-defense.

        Andrew Tekle Sundberg was fatally wounded by police after a six-hour standoff in a Minneapolis apartment complex last Thursday after he allegedly fired bullets into the apartment of a single mother of two while she was cooking dinner, KARE11 reports.

        According to the search warrant, which was issued Thursday morning, while attempting to evacuate the apartment building, "officers started taking fire," prompting them to exit the building. At that point, Minneapolis police requested assistance from the Minneapolis SWAT Team, the warrant reads.


        When the SWAT Team arrived, two snipers set up on the roof of a nearby apartment building, according to court documents. "At some point during the standoff, the two snipers shot the male subject," the search warrant reads. The man, later identified as Sundberg, was transported the HCMC where he later died. Minneapolis city officials identified the two officers as Aaron Pearson and Zachary Seraphine.


        Of note, the GoFundMe page for Sundberg had initially raised more than the victim's GoFundMe, however after a tweet by Rebecca Brannon (@RebsBrannon) went viral, the fundraiser for the woman, Arabella Foss-Yarbrough, hit more than $60,000 as of this writing.
