💨 Abstract

The city of Anchorage reached a $2.1 million settlement with the family of Easter Leafa, a 16-year-old girl shot by a police officer while holding a knife. The officer's use of deadly force was deemed justified. Leafa, who had recently moved from American Samoa and was still learning English, was one of seven people shot by police in Anchorage last year. The settlement aims to promote healing within the community.
