Killing of Cheryl Noel

On January 21, 2005, Cheryl Noel, a 44-year-old woman living in Baltimore County, Maryland, was shot and killed by police. Noel was killed during a no knock drug raid by a SWAT team.[1] Due to the early hour and lack of announced entry, Noel employed a legally possessed handgun to defend herself and her home.[1] This raid, its result and its justification have become controversial.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

A very similar controversial killing by the same officer occurred in 2012.[11]
