A young mom-of-two has been shot dead while walking her child to school in Louisville, Kentucky -- sparking a furious tirade from the city's police chief against the "absolutely pathetic" killers.

Shawn Willis, now 21, was only 16 when he shot his mother, Sandy Willis, with her own gun while she slept in her Rocky Top home on April 20, 2020.

The footage captured in the mainly Druze city of Sweida also shows a crowd of other terrified health workers being held at gunpoint with their hands in the air.
