This is just so very sad. Police body camera footage shows that on the fateful night of July 6, when two Sangamon County sheriff’s deputies showed up at Sonya Massey’s door, the first thing Massey said to the officers was, “Don’t hurt me.” The deputies responded by assuring Massey that they would not hurt her and implied it was erroneous that she would assume otherwise since she was the one who called them. Not half an hour later, Massey was shot dead by now-former Deputy Sean Grayson, who is now facing multiple charges including three counts of first-degree murder.
