Arabella Foss-Yarbrough called the police last Wednesday night after neighbor Andrew “Tekle” Sundberg allegedly fired his gun into her home while she was cooking her children’s dinner, leaving bullet holes in her front door, walls and above her bathroom sink, the photos show. Two Minneapolis police snipers shot and killed him Thursday morning after a lengthy standoff. A loaded handgun and several casings were found in his apartment, the New York Post reported. “This is not a George Floyd situation. George Floyd was unarmed. This is not OK,” Foss-Yarbrough told protesters gathered for a march and rally for the man on Saturday, according to the video. “He tried to kill me in front of my children.” Ignoring the mom’s pleas for peace on her street, protesters claimed an injustice and commemorated Sundberg’s death by leaving candles and flowers around his chalked name on the sidewalk, photos from the Star Tribune said. One protester can be heard telling Foss-Yarbrough “this is not the time” as she recounted the terror she and her children felt as bullets rained into their home. BLM Minnesota Chief Trahern Crews joined the march to demand police transparency. “We are here to respect life, to demand justice, and to demand that the body camera footage be released,” Crew said, according to the Star Tribune. Foss-Yarbrough was nearly hysterical with emotion as she confronted the activists, outraged that they could defend someone she said attempted to kill her family. “I can’t take my items because you’re celebrating his life,” the mom screamed through tears. “This is not okay. My kids have to deal with it and probably have some mental illness now. Because they almost lost their lives. There are bullet holes in my kitchen because he was sitting in the f-king hallway watching me move.” The story continues Appealing to her mixed race background, the mum appeared upset that protesters were supporting the gunman’s lost life but not her own and her children’s. “I have black children. I’m a woman of color!” she declared. “If I lost my life, would you do this for me?” “Yes, ma’am,” said Kruse. During the mother’s riot, Sundberg’s parents stood with the protesters. They offered words of concern for her to the Post, while still maintaining that their son’s shooting was unjustified. They claimed Sundberg was suffering from mental illness when he shot up the house. “I wish I could wrap my arms around her and tell her I’m so sorry,” Cindy Sundberg said. “I’m so sorry she had to experience that I’m so sorry for her pain.” “Tecl was an imperfect human, as we are all imperfect humans, and he didn’t deserve to be taken off the roof like an animal,” he said.
