Floyd was partially blind and walked with a white cane,

Truly a threat that would cause pigs to fear for their lives.

Yeah. Especially when that woman knew something.

Spirit Lake Mayor Jeremy Cowperthwaite and Kootenai County Prosecutor Stanley Mortensen all said they could not divulge further information on the shooting – such as why two Spirit Lake officers fired their guns, whether or not they shot Floyd or how she died.

Yeah. This means they did shoot her, and they are pretty sure it's what killed her. They absolutely would divulge it if they had not shot her. Have you ever known police not to fall over themselves to say they didn't do something bad?

The article doesn't explain why the lady was shot at in the first place

They won't say why they were there, why guns were fired, if they hit anything, why they didn't check units following a shooting, or who in fact was there the sheriff's or city police.
