New York (CNN) -- A Hofstra University student who died during a confrontation between a home invasion suspect and authorities was killed by police gunfire, a Nassau County, New York, police spokeswoman said Saturday.
Police fired eight shots at the intruder, who authorities say was holding a gun to the head of 21-year-old Andrea Rebello during a home invasion robbery Friday at an off-campus house in Uniondale.
One of the shots hit Rebello in the head, killing her, police spokeswoman Maureen Roach said.
Also killed was the intruder, who authorities identified as Dalton Smith, 30, of Hempstead. He was struck seven times.
so the cops just shot through her to get the perp.. cops are just some of the worst bottom feeders on the planet. cops and criminals go hand in hand for a reason. They are the same type of person, barely literate and unable to do anything else with their inferior intellect so they turn to policing, soldiering or crime..............and the taxpayers pay for it. disgusting and shameful. Poor girl.
