A woman yelled 'I’m pregnant' seconds before a police officer fatally shot her, video shows
By Katie Mettler Katie Mettler Reporter covering breaking news and features Email Bio Follow May 14 at 1:15 PM An 11-year officer with the Baytown Police Department shot and killed a 44-year-old Texas woman Monday night in the parking lot of the apartment complex where she lived, authorities said — an altercation that a witness captured on video.
“You’re actually harassing me,” she says. There is a popping noise, then the sound of a deploying Taser gun. The two appear to struggle and the woman falls to the ground. According to police, the officer tried to deploy his Taser at the woman during the struggle. When he tried to handcuff her, she grabbed the Taser and turned it back on the officer. The Taser grazed the officer, something police call a “drive stun,” zapping him momentarily. That’s when he pulled his gun and fired, Dorris said.
Dorris said he does not plan to release the name of the officer, at least not for several days. He said “as a matter of practice,” he keeps names of officers involved in such incidents private so the officer does not get “bombarded” with media requests. Dorris said the officer was wearing a body camera during the shooting, but authorities have not released the footage since the investigation is ongoing.
