Two years after Korryn Gaines was killed by a Baltimore County police officer, her family has been awarded more than $37 million.
Police say Korryn Gaines, 23, raised a shotgun into the firing position during what had turned into a six-hour standoff, and that Officer Royce Ruby’s actions were therefore justified. Ruby fired a bullet that killed Gaines and wounded her son, Kodi, who was 5 at the time.
