US police shoot dead pregnant black woman in her car

Police in Ohio have released bodycam footage of the moment they shot a pregnant woman through the windscreen of her car.

Ta'Kiya Young, 21, was accused of shoplifting and appeared to drive at police after they tried to arrest her.

A lawyer representing Ms Young's family said the video clearly shows her death was "avoidable" and called for the officer who shot her to be sacked immediately and charged.
