COLUMBUS — Three Democratic members of Congress are asking the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to investigate the foster care experience that preceded the fatal police shooting of 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant in Ohio.
U.S. Rep. Joyce Beatty and Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, along with U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, penned a letter Tuesday on behalf of Bryant's parents.
Bryant was shot four times in April by Columbus police officer Nicholas Reardon as she swung a knife at a young woman just seconds after pushing another woman to the ground.
