Update:
The police “heard shots fired from within the residence. As the officers took cover, they saw a woman armed with a handgun leave the back of the house,” according to a statement released by the Virginia State Police.
The two responding officers claim that they fired Towler after she refused to put her weapon down. The woman reportedly did not have her glasses on or hearing aid in at the time.
The police statement also alleges that Towler pointed her gun at the officers — a point her son Robert Barbour does not buy.
“Mom ain’t gonna hurt no police officer or nobody else. She was a good Christian woman and she wouldn’t hurt a soul,” Barbour said.
The officer who killed Towler is currently on administrative leave, according to WDBJ7.
“If I have to spend every penny, someone’s going to pay,” said Langford. “They took my mama.”

Good luck with that.
The thin blue line will form an impenetrable blue circle and she’ll get nothing.
If there’s more than one cop at the scene, the ‘official story’ will exonerate the guilty cop.
Bet on it.
