“Two days after Bettie Jones was shot dead by Chicago police, it remains unclear why the 55-year-old grandmother of five walked to the front door of her West Side home, the spot where she became what authorities called an ‘accidental’ casualty of a ‘domestic disturbance.’ But her daughter has a theory about the one-time crossing guard. She was ‘just being a good citizen,’ Latarsha Jones told NBC News. ‘Trying to help out.’ The Jones family’s lawyer, Sam Adam Jr., assailed the authorities’ version of the incident, telling NBC News on Monday that ‘many’ shell casings were found ‘down the street’ from Jones’ home.”
