Seimone Augustus grew up in Louisiana, not far from where Alton Sterling was shot this month. She knows that could have easily been someone she knew.

“I lived three or four blocks from where the incident happened. It’s always in the back of my mind that it could have been a relative, a friend, a teammate a high school classmate,” she said.

She’s sad to see what has happened to her hometown where relations have broken down. Three police officers were shot and killed a few weeks ago.

“I have relatives in law enforcement as well. I don’t want to see it happen either way. That could have been an uncle or cousin,” Augustus said.
