Woman with Asperger’s who touched millions with viral video shot dead by police (xpost from GD) [View all]
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/woman-asperger-shot-dead-police-article-1.2520902A woman with Asperger’s who posted a touching viral video with her service dog last summer has been shot dead by police.
Danielle Jacobs was killed by Mesa, Arizona, officers on Thursday after they arrived at her apartment for a suicide call around 11 a.m., her mother Stacia confirmed to the Daily News.
Police told local media that the 24-year-old came at them with a knife and they fired in self-defense.
Jacobs had garnered international attention last year for posting a courageous video where she sobs as her loving dog Samson provided comfort during a meltdown and used his paws to stop her hitting herself.
