Fort Worth Police Kill Woman Inside Her Own Home

Body cam footage of the officer who killed her on the link. 

 

FORT WORTH, Texas - A Fort Worth Police Department officer fatally shot a woman who was inside her home early Saturday morning.

This incident began just before 2:30 a.m., when police got a call about a home’s front door being open in the 1200 block of E. Allen Ave.

While responding officers were searching the area, an officer looked inside the home through a window, and saw a person standing inside.

According to police, the officer pulled out his service weapon after “perceiving a threat.”

On body camera video released by Fort Worth PD, the officer can be heard saying, “Put your hands up. Show me your hands,” before shooting through the window at the person inside.

Officers then went into the home, and found a woman who had been shot by the officer, along with a handgun. Police have not said whether the gun was found near the woman, or found in another part of the home.

Officers immediately began giving the woman first aid, but the woman, who lived at the home, was later pronounced dead.

The officer who fired the shot, who has been with Fort Worth PD since April 2018, has been put routine administrative leave until an investigation into the shooting is complete.

No other injuries were reported.

The investigation into this shooting is continuing.

Of course they found a gun. 

Bet it was a throwaway.

Sickening.

 

The neighbor who called the non-emergency number for a health check.

 

"Smith told the Star-Telegram that he was “shaken” by the incident, and said he took part of the blame.

“If I had never dialed the police department, she’d still be alive,” Smith said.

“It makes you not want to call the police department,” he added. “If you don’t feel safe with the police department, then who do you feel safe with?”"

 

Just sickening.

Thin blue line is BS. Start charging these public servants with murder and sentence them to higher standards that are supposed to be held to

Can't let Dallas get ahead of them?

Charge that piece of shit with murder 

[yoshi 137]

Another one of those stories that blows the whole "if you're not doing anything wrong, you don't have anything to worry about" saying out of the water.  

[staboner 4969]

i ain't watching that

why shoot into a dark house at someone? why not just like ask them to come outside to see you? i mean there are a million other ways than to shoot into the house with you knowing anything about anything. 

shoot first, think later

people who believe in the thin blue line should be handled like traitors. you either take an oath to uphold the constitution or you choose to support people who break the law. there is no duality. treason = thin blue line. supporting cops is not the same as supporting the thin blue line.  support cops, don't support bad cops. good cops don't support criminals regardless of the law. the sooner people realize that the better we all will be.

[Jshep34 2308]

Agree with what you are saying. As the case in dallas you had cops covering for a dirty cop. Public perception isnt going to change till the good ones ( i believe there alot of good ones) start outing the bad ones.

[bschoolprof 6252]

So the police response response here was to sneak around through the backyard like a fucking ninja and then freak out like a 9 year old when he sees something spooky?  Jesus. What a total fucking idiot.

How about, I don't know just spit-balling here, . . .  knocking on the front door and saying "Police, is everything OK?"

You can’t make it home at night as a Texas Cop unless you open direct fire into several other homes in your way back from work 

[Zepol87 9185]

This is insane 

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4975]

At least Amber Guyger had an excuse. In no way was she justified, but it is not difficult to imagine going in to the wrong apartment (forgetting the whole heard someone moving around inside bit). But these idiots created a situation and then killed someone because they created a situation. They should be put in the looney bin and confined to a straight jacket for the safety of everyone around them.

[FORTY NINE TO ZERO 2652]

Murder 

[Celery Man 20933]

1 second.  Exactly 1 second from when he began to say "PUT YOUR HANDS UP" and when he killed her.  Through a fucking window.  If you perceive a threat through a wall at a call about a door that is open and that perceived threat is enough to drive you to end someone's life you need to a) not be a cop b) not own a gun c) get into therapy or something.  What the fuck?

We need to start sending robots to handle calls. Humans are too stupid not to murder someone

I know how this one ends

[conVINCEd 21469]

I am a 40-something white male.  I used to believe that cops were good (unless I happened to be driving over the speed limit or a 19 yr old in possession of alcoholic beverages).   Until the cops get their own house in order, they have 100% lost the benefit of the doubt.

I'm a 16 year old Korean boy, and I agree. 

[Bama Chick 28596]

Ya know what?

Even if this was a break in and the cops outside saw movement inside, THEY STILL SHOULD NOT BE FIRING BLINDLY INTO A BUILDING FROM THE OUTSIDE

I don’t know, I’m just a dumb citizen with no LEO “training” but wouldn’t it be smarter and safer to surround the building and cover all exits? Maybe use a bullhorn to let the intruder know they’re surrounded and give them the chance to surrender?

Nah. Definitely smarter to just blast away with no intelligence on the situation.

Just this week my daughter accidentally left the front door ajar and it was discovered 45 minutes later when I got home.

Good thing none of my neighbors called the cops, saw my daughter walking around, or my 85 pound dog who loves to lay up in the window and decided to fucking blast them.

There is NO excuse to be made by police for this.

I can think of many reasonable reasons why a door might be ajar or open before I get to “It’s the sign of a dangerous criminal inside”.

This is murder.

She was playing with her nephew????

[Murfdogg21 4412]

Not defending cop, but she was “playing with her nephew” with a pistol laying on the floor?

Probably a toy gun.

Besides, she was in her own home. As long as she wasn't pointing a firearm at someone, she can do whatever the fuck she wants. Whatever happened to simply knocking on the front door?

Pretty obvious case of murder, but after the Guyger trial, this "peace" officer will better know what to say (and what lies to tell), so securing a conviction will be that much more difficult.

Hope I'm wrong.

We don't know where the pistol was, just that it was in the house.  Could have been a throwdown, could have been in a shoebox in the closet.

I think with the cam footage, there's less factual shading that can be done.

I think these recent Texas cases have probably made it clearer to everyone what most surly types have believed for quite some time:  there are a shit pile of cops that have no business walking around with a gun.  Possibly all of them.  I've liked the British idea of disarming cops except for small rapid-reaction teams of highly trained shooters.

[Murfdogg21 4412]

I agree it seems like a case of manslaughter/homocide. Just pointing out how politicians quickly rushing in to paint the victim as a perfect citizen may want to slow their roll until all the facts come out. Again, not defending cops and it seems like the shooter should be arrested and tried. 

[TwiceHorn 31440]

Again, the indictable offense here is murder.

It doesn't really matter whether the citizen was perfect or not, cops don't have the prerogative to be jury, judge and executioner unless their lives are in danger and they have little or no recourse.  In Balch Springs, Farmers Branch, Dallas, Arlngton, and Fort Worth, the only danger to the officer was in his or her overheated imagination.

Gotta be a drop gun.

On case there was any doubt...your life, your rights, you....are worthless.
Law enforcement in this country is completely broken. They have so ingrained within themselves the ethos of “it’s a war on cops, everyone is trying to kill me.” They are consumed by, and controlled by, fear. And fear makes them stupid, callous, and cruel.
A cop just murdered someone in their own home, because the cop’s instantaneous reaction was to use deadly force. Yeah....we’ve been through this before. And clearly, it’s going to keep happening, again and again.
Because they are heroes who deserve to live, no matter the cost. And we...well, we’re just subjects. Insects. Deadly threats until we prove otherwise, under a standard of proof that only the cops know, and only they get to decide.
We probably need to just create a running thread for “cop kills innocent citizen in their own home.” Just keep a running tally.

[C-Man 27194]

Jesus ... fuck these guys.

[C-Man 27194]

I mean the only good thing I can say about this is hey, they released the body cam footage ... yay?!?!

[immortal13 4059]

This cop is going to prison....has to

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

New tactic for this shooting is to get the bad bodycam video out there asafp. Cops don’t look like they are hiding it per usual, and the defense can claim jury bias or whatever when they request their change of venue to vidor.

If a cop is that scared and jittery then they should not be a police officer, find another profession. But hell, LEO training only takes what, 4 months before they take the state exam? It takes a lot longer to become a licensed barber/beautician.

One would think that people having the responsibility of a law enforcement officer would have longer and better training but no, they don't.

They're going to try to justify this killing, the victim will be put on trial. A gun was in the house, yeah no shit it's Texas.

Disarm the fucking police. Fuck this shit.

[Tailgate 3021]

Can not believe we continue to read these similar stories week after week.

Truly need to revamp the entire police training with deadly force across the entire country.

If they’re keeping secrets for the bad ones then they’re not “good ones”.

Pretty simple really.

[dingleberryswitzer 2724]

I'm and totally shocked that the body cam was in working order, battery charged, turned on, wasn't damaged in the ordeal, the officer didn't lose it on the way back to the station, the memory wasn't corrupted and wasn't misplaced in the evidence room

I don’t give a fuck whether she was a Sunday School teacher or a hardened felon.  She did nothing to justify her execution at the moment he decided she should die.
