Did the caller say something like, "I noticed my neighbor's door was open, any chance you could stop by and take a look?" Or did he say something like, "Help! Somebody's burglarizing my neighbor's house! Hurry, they're still in there!!"

Sounds to me like this officer was definitely at fault in several different ways, but in any case, this might be a significant component of the picture.
It is a fact that idiots make 911 calls creating very serious situations out of nothing.
What happened to take a protective position, gun out at the front door and shout “ police. Is everything ok”

If I see someone creeping around my back yard at 12am, what should I do? Ignore continue watching TV? Get up go to the window? Get a weapon?

And yeah 911 callers can color a situation badly. The Las Vegas Costco CHL murder by police is a classic example. “there is a man with a gun in our store”. No signs preventing concealed carry. Not told to leave, when he bent down and security noticed the barrel of the gun exposed. They just called 911 and 10 units responded. Video cameras that showed the event were not working that day. Had a cell phone in his hand. West Point grad in the store with his girlfriend.

Former officer on trial.

Cautionary tale about having your gun exposed inside your house and making sure your front door is latched at night.

Officer indicted for murder.

New story, but it seems old news.

Worth said that the Texas Rangers declined to investigate. Does anyone have a thought to why that is or has anyone ever heard them declining to investigate before?
The only reason I can think of is if it has become an open and shut case. Maybe the Ft Worth department is handing this in such a way that the Texas Rangers see no need to get involved at this point. I would be willing to bet that there have been other cases that they saw no need to investigate.
Maybe they are waiting till after the election to investigate the murder of a couple in their home in Houston in the “botched” drug raid.

Re: Woman killed by FT Worth PD officer

There is a quote "to a hammer everything is a nail".

I hope it is repeated over and over to the police cadets that everyone is not a bad guy. Protect and Serve.

I am an armchair quarterback now, but if your are trying to sneak into the backyard so that when someone does announce "Police" at the front door, you can catch the bad guy leaving from a rear entrance, why do you have your flashlight on and not ducking under windows.

It seems shining your flashlight into a window, while standing in the middle of a bedroom window, at 2:30 in the morning, is a good way to get shot by a bad guy or a homeowner.

RIP great Auntie.

Full blown murder.

That seems over charging. But mayoral elections are soon.

How many shots did he fire, if one, he could have had his finger on the trigger and she startled him.

Police Officer has resigned.

Unlike the other incident this was on duty. I don’t know if that will affect the final outcome.

In Las Vegas NV, there would be an inquest and the officer would later receive a commendation.

This is saying white officer, black victim.

Also says they have the officers body cam video and they will release it.

Says he was shining a light into her home through the window. When he saw her, he gave her orders, then shot.

Does not yet say where the gun was found.

It says that they attempted to render first aid.

Re: Woman killed by FT Worth PD officer

Geez Louise.

Doesn’t take much to be murdered anymore.

It’s been windy with the front coming thru.

Door could have been not latched and the wind pushed it open.

Betcha the neighbor feels real bad.
