A South Shore woman was shot in the midst of a shooting in Fargo, North Dakota, on Friday, a shooting that left a local police officer dead, WCVB reported.

Karlee Koswick, 25, moved to Fargo from Cohasset three weeks ago, her family told the television station. They said she was caught in the crossfire when Mohamad Barakat, a 37-year-old man, fired at officers responding to a crash in the area.
