Transcript for Attorney for family of Australian woman killed by police calls for justice

developments in that deadly police shooting in Minnesota that killed a bride-to-be after she called 911 for help. Overnight hundreds marching in her honor as the Minneapolis police chief broke her silence. ABC's Alex Perez is in Minneapolis with all of the details on that, good morning to you, Alex. Reporter: Hey, good morning, Amy. The police chief here says Justine should still be alive and this should have never happened and calling on the officer who shot her to cooperate with the investigation. This mornivg, for the first time the Minneapolis police chief is speaking out about the shooting of 40-year-old meditation and yoga instructor Justine damond. Justine didn't have to die. This should not have happened. Reporter: Damond called 911 late Saturday night thinking someone was being assaulted in the alley behind her home. I can hear someone out the back in the transcript. I'm not sure if she's having sex or being raped. Officers Matty harrity and Mohamed Noor responded driving down a dark alley with squad car lights off but never found the suspect. Shots fired. We've got one down. 5:30. I'm starting cpr. Reporter: They were startled by a loud noise when damond appeared near the driver's side. Noor, who was on the passenger site firing his gun through the open driver's side window. Both officers' body cameras off. Harrity's attorney told "The Minneapolis star tribune" it's certainly possible the officers believed they were the target of an ambush but the attorney representing damond's family in Australia doesn't buy that argument. The family wants justice in its largest sense, in other words, we want the officers to be properly trained. Reporter: And the attorney tells me loved ones are working on getting Justine's remains back to Australia and that they do intend to file a civil lawsuit. David. Just an awful story and so many questions.
