Black on Black: Pregnant woman killed in brawl

*Weeping for the state of my Black Sisters*  This is so so sad.  Some reports are saying that the fighting was over a man.  That’s a mess…a dayum mess.

Guardian UK: ”The girls said they were supposed to show up and talk about it; it wasn’t supposed to escalate into this physical, violent situation,” Gares said.

At one point, as many as 30 women were involved in the fight, with some possibly trying to break it up, police said.

After the fighting, four women, including Blanche and the other woman involved in the dispute with Bishop, began walking away. Bishop became upset and drove a convertible into the group of four, Gares said.

Associated Press (LA) — A pregnant woman was killed and two other people were injured when a woman rammed her car into them during a planned street fight involving as many as 30 young women, authorities said.

The driver of the car, Unique Bishop, 21, fled after Monday afternoon’s fight but later turned herself in to authorities and was booked for investigation of murder, police said. She was being held on $1 million bail.

“It was totally an intentional act to kill the woman. It was the driver’s way of settling the dispute. It was a horrific act,” said LAPD Deputy Chief Charlie Beck.

Dozens gathered at the gas station and watched as Bishop got into her car and drove it into the group. One of the victims was pinned against another car, police said.

The woman killed was eight months pregnant and another victim was in critical condition and expected to lose her leg, authorities said. None of the victims’ identities were released.

“We have seen women around gangs before, but we haven’t seen anything like this event before,” said police Cmdr. Pat Gannon.
