CORRECTED-Former Minnesota policeman convicted in fatal shooting of Australian woman

A former Minneapolis policeman was found guilty on Tuesday of murder and manslaughter for fatally shooting Australian national Justine Ruszczyk Damond from his patrol car while responding to her 2017 report of a possible sex assault near her home. Mohamed Noor, 33, was convicted of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for killing 40-year-old Damond outside her home near Minneapolis, in an incident that drew international criticism including from Australia's prime minister, who called the incident "shocking."
