(New York Post) A Minneapolis mom could be seen on video confronting Black Lives Matter protesters gathered outside the home of a man who was fatally shot by police after a tense six-hour standoff.
The mother, Arabella Foss-Yarbrough, called police last Wednesday night after her neighbor Andrew “Tekle” Sundberg allegedly fired shots into her apartment as she was cooking for her two young children.
The gunman was eventually shot dead Thursday morning by two Minneapolis police snipers.
A pistol with an extended magazine and several bullet casings was recovered from his apartment.
“This is not a George Floyd situation. George Floyd was unarmed. This is not OK,” Foss-Yarbrough was seen yelling at a group of protesters on Saturday. “He tried to kill me in front of my kids.”
Photos from inside Foss-Yarbrough’s home show multiple bullet holes in her front door, walls and just above her bathroom sink.
Things boiled over during Saturday’s rally and march for Tekle Sundberg, when the 24 year old woman who says he was shooting into her apt. showed up voicing her frustration with those gathering in front of her building on Sundberg’s behalf. @kare11 * video contains profanity * pic.twitter.com/qdi1vbgO7k

Regardless of the circumstances of the shooting, BLM activists — including Trahern Crews, a lead organizer for BLM Minnesota — gathered outside the building on Saturday to demand justice for Sundberg.
“We’re here to respect life, demand justice, and we’re demanding the release of the body cam footage,” Crews chanted, according to the star Tribune.
But when Foss-Yarbrough pulled her car up to the building, she unleashed on the protesters, which included Sundberg’s parents.
“My kids have to deal with this and probably have a mental illness now because they almost lost their lives,” she said. “There’s bullet holes in my kitchen because he sat in the f–king hallway watching me move. He tried to kill me in front of my kids.
“I have Black children; I am a woman of color!” Foss-Yarbrough, who is of Black, white and Native descent, then yelled.
“If I would have lost my life, would you guys do this for me?”
