The woman, Talisa Coombs, told Delaney she’d just gotten into what she alleged was a physical altercation with her granddaughter’s mother, Maria Pike, and called 911. Independence police’s response to that 911 call ended with the shooting death of Pike, 34, and her two month old daughter, Destinii Hope — who were identified Tuesday by authorities from the Police Involved Investigative Team, or PIIT, a team of eastern Jackson County detectives called in to investigate police shootings and use-of-force incidents.

The officer who fired his weapon was “a long-tenured veteran of law enforcement,” Dustman said. That officer and another two who were at the scene are on administrative leave.

    I agree with your statement that the ad block options are bad. If you have never heard of it, the Orion browser from the Kagi search engine company will let you download and use Firefox or Chrome extensions. I have the Firefox version of uBlock Origin installed and it does work. Maybe not as well as the Android or desktop browser versions, but it does the job. All free as well.
