“A New York woman has reached a $650,000 settlement with Nassau County after a police officer accidentally shot her while investigating a drug case involving her downstairs neighbors.
Iyanna Davis was shot in the breast in 2010 after the officer mistakenly burst into her apartment during a drug investigation, reported Newsday.
The bullet then went through her abdomen and both thighs.
The officer said his assault rifle went off accidentally, and he was cleared of any wrongdoing by an internal police investigation.”
