Anchorage police fatally shot 16-year-old Easter Leafa, who was holding a knife, marking the fourth deadly officer-involved shooting in the city since mid-May.

Leafa had recently moved to Anchorage from American Samoa for better opportunities. Police responded to a family disturbance where Leafa allegedly threatened her sister with a knife.

Officers said they gave multiple commands before one fired lethal rounds and another used a less-lethal projectile.

Leafa’s family disputes the police account, claiming she was shot after a slight movement.

The incident, captured on body cameras, is under investigation, with the officer’s name to be released after 72 hours, The Guardian has reported.

Anchorage police have committed to reviewing their training and tactics to prevent future shootings.
