Justine Damond: 911 transcript shows she called police twice after ‘distressed’ woman screamed for help

Transcripts of Justine Damond’s calls to police show she was concerned police had the wrong address when they did not arrive immediately.

The transcripts show during the first call, made at 11:27pm on Saturday local time, Ms Damond said she could not see anything but could hear a woman who sounded “distressed”.

“I’m not sure if she’s having sex or being raped,” she said.

She said she thought the person had yelled “help” and added: “I don’t think she’s enjoying it.”

Eight minutes later, at 11:35pm, Ms Damond called again to say police had not arrived.

She said she was concerned they had the wrong address, and gave it again.

Assured that officers were on the way, she thanked the dispatcher and ended the call.

Minutes later she lay dying, shot in the abdomen by one of the responding officers when she approached their squad car.

Police tapes show that at 11:39, the officers told dispatchers the situation was under control. Just two minutes later, at 11:41pm, they said one person had been shot and called for emergency medical assistance.

Ms Damond, 40, a spiritual healer and life coach who was due to be married next month, was shot by Officer Mohamed Noor.
