14:22Now PlayingIn Washington state, Seattle agrees will pay $3.5 million to a black woman's family who police officers shot to settle a wrongful-death civil suit.
Charleena Lyles, a mother of four, was fatally shot by two Seattle police officers in June 2017.
Two Seattle police officers responded to Lyles' apartment after calling 911 to report a burglary. Evidence at the scene pointed to a staged burglary, and according to the officers, she suddenly attacked them with one or two knives, and they fatally shot her in the cramped confines of her kitchen.
The lawsuit claimed officers did not act reasonably because they failed to use non lethal force to disarm or subdue her.
Under police policy, Seattle police officers are required to carry tasers, but one of the officers did not have his on the day of the incident. He left it in his locker because the battery died.
