Deadly force

Kalimah returned to her residence to investigate the sound of an alarm. Officer Joyce VanDertuin had already responded. Kalimah opened the backdoor of the residence. The door struck Officer VanDertuin's .40-caliber Glock pistol, which she shot once. The bullet struck Kalimah fatally in the chest. McKinney Police Department raised funds for Kalimah's children because they lost their mother. The most up-to-date reporting available showed that Officer McKinney continued to work at MPD, in spite of the objections of Kalimah's husband Jeemil.
