A woman opened the door with a handgun and the officer instantly killed her. The woman had been the person who had called police for help. She had a gun in her hand, apparently not to threaten police but to defend herself as she had reported a domestic violence incident. Unfortunately, police arrived and within seconds had fatally shot her before investigating facts or ever understanding who was victim and who was domestic attacker in this event. The bodycam video showing this fatal shooting mere seconds after making contact is linked below.
