Marquintan Sandlin and Kisha Michael made arrangements for someone to watch their kids and went out on a date. After the date, in the wee hours of the morning, they fall asleep or pass out in the car with a gun between them(?)
The police spent 45 minutes trying to wake the couple up. Then military grade weapons were fired into or at the car by police, killing them both.
The mayor says one or both of them must have been awake at some point because somebody (one or more of the cops) felt threatened.
This above is an outline of the police version of this story.
Does this even come close to making sense to you?
"For at least 45 minutes, police attempted "to rouse" them in an effort "to de-escalate the situation," said Butts. It is the first public explanation for what transpired early Sunday morning during the time between the initial call and the shooting. http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/couple-killed-inglewood-police-shooting-asleep-mayor-butts-369902981.html
Police previously had stated responding officers saw the woman had a gun, retreated to behind cover, and then gave orders for the couple to exit the vehicle."

Got it.
