If this is true it lends credibility to any “self defense” claim.And given that it was late at night it could be argued that the woman,too,had reason to be fearful.

Cop didn’t announce himself and in Texas it is legal to defend yourself against unknown people on your property after dark with lethal force.

Cop screwed up, even if she had a g*****n belt fed machine gun.

It only reinforces the residents claim.

Both the 2 cops and the victim may have had legitimate reason to be fearful, especially if the neighborhood was bad. Most likely a tragic accident. The victim didn’t deserve to die, but neither did the cop intend to murder. Arguable charge of manslaughter, but even that could be based largely on hindsight.

If I saw someone with a flashlight trying to peer through a window of my house at that hour I would have a gun out as well.
I guarantee it.
