**************
The East Allen Avenue shooting was the seventh time since June 1 that a
Fort Worth police officer has shot a civilian. Six of those people died.
The determination of police Internal Affairs Unit reviews of those cases
or whether grand juries have considered them was not clear.
Body-worn camera video police released shows two officers using flashlights
to check the perimeter of the house, inspecting two doors that are open
with closed screen doors. At the back of house, one officer appears to see
a figure through a dark window, and he quickly twists his body to the left.
“Put your hands up! Show me your hands!” he shouts through the window,
his gun drawn. He then fires a single shot through the window.
