Unless his or someone elses life was in danger, this guy did a stupid thing, sorry. Don’t get me wrong, she was wrong for stealing, but to put everyone else in the parking lot at risk for just some stolen cr*p? I hope to hear that there was some good reason for the shooting.
She was in her car trying to get away. If I read correctly she was headed right for the officer.
Good shot as far as I am concerned. She was nothing more than a common thief.
She lived by the sword so she died by it.
So tell her mommy and daddy to stfu. They did not raise her any better now they are crying that she died a common criminal?
Read the story before posting.
It's a risk one takes when one steals other people's stuff.
Shooting a fleeing thief, under most circumstances, is perfectly legal... in Texas. Especially if it was at night, which it apparently was. But that's not the reason he fired, he fired because he feared for his own safety.
But this is still a very sad situation. The young woman resembles my niece somewhat, or would without without the heavy makeup. So I can relate to her family's pain. She's also only a couple of years older than my niece.
But the family apparently doesn't know what their "little girl" has become. Katrina was a long time ago for someone that age, and she left where they lived at that time.
“I hope to hear that there was some good reason for the shooting.”
It’s called running from an LEO at the scene of a crime. Good riddance. It seems the cycle may be coming around to where now, the LEO’s can shoot to kill, rather than initiate pusuit and then have to break off pursuit if it gets too dangerous for the public. Anyone who flees from an officer can be rightfully shot. Period! If they are stupid enough to run, paint a target on em and have at it.
