Kerr,her partner Bill Mohana,and six terrified clients were in tears huddled in the back room of the salon as they heard the gunshot that would end Cauchi’s life.
“We didn’t know it was the police shooting. I just ran to the back thinking we’re going to die,” Mohana said.
“I thought it was a terrorist attack. She’s put herself out there,by herself. What a woman.”
Witness Jason Dixon said the officer had no choice but to shoot.
