Family Claims Racial Profiling in Shooting Death of Stranded Detroit Motorist 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Police in Detroit are investigating the shooting death of an
African-American woman killed while seeking help for a late-night car
crash. Nineteen-year-old Renisha Mc Bride knocked on the door of a home
in a predominantly white neighborhood to ask for assistance. The
homeowner apparently thought she was an intruder and shot her dead.
Family members say they believe Mc Bride was racially profiled.
