Recently obtained emergency response calls shed light on the events leading up to the fatal shooting of Sonya Massey in her Springfield home on July 6. The incident, which resulted in Massey's death, has sparked national outrage and scrutiny over law enforcement's handling of mental health crises.
On July 5, Massey's mother called 911 to report her daughter's mental breakdown but emphasized that she was not a danger to herself or others. Despite this information, it remains unclear whether the responding deputies were aware of Massey's mental health concerns the following day.
