Lyles’ family insists she had a history of mental health problems and that the officers failed to de-escalate the situation before shooting her. The other officer — Anderson — originally told investigators he was trapped in a confined space and his back was against a closed door when Lyles lunged at him. But surveillance video actually shows the officers backing up through an open door into a hallway.“I was talking to Ms. Lyles. I was somewhere at the corner of the peninsula talking to Ms. Lyles, she’s in front of me, I see her produce the knife, she’s lunging it towards me and I did one of these movements.
