(Reuters) - A Texas woman was shot dead by a Fort Worth police officer through the window of her home after she heard noises outside late at night and picked up her handgun, the officer's arrest warrant showed on Tuesday.

Atatiana Jefferson, 28, was playing video games with her 8-year-old nephew around 2:30 am on Saturday when she heard noises in her backyard, according to the warrant for former Fort Worth Police Officer Dean Aaron's arrest for alleged murder.

The noises were Dean and his partner creeping around the back of her home after they were called to investigate why her front door was open.

Dean resigned on Monday before he was fired for breaching a string of police policies in shooting Jefferson dead with a single shot, according to Fort Worth Police Chief Ed Kraus.

Jefferson's death brought outraged calls for an investigation into Fort Worth Police, whose officers are accused by her family's lawyer, Lee Merritt, of fatally shooting seven people in under six months.

"She heard noises coming from outside, and she took her handgun from her purse," Jefferson's nephew told police, according to the warrant. His name was redacted from the warrant.

"Jefferson raised her handgun, pointed it toward the window, then Jefferson was shot and fell to the ground," the warrant said.

Dean's partner, identified as Officer Darch, said she could see Jefferson when Dean shot her.
"She could only see Jefferson's face through the window when Officer Dean discharged his weapon," the warrant said.

The officers did not knock on the front door of the home or announce they were police before Dean fired his weapon, according to Kraus.

"It makes sense she would have a gun if she felt threatened or if there was someone in the backyard," Kraus said, ending a press conference after eight minutes as he grew emotional talking about the impact of the killing on police morale.

Fort Worth has called in an independent panel of experts to evaluate the police department after the shooting.

Jefferson was killed the same month another former Texas police officer, Amber Guyger, was convicted of murdering Botham Jean, a black man, as he sat in his home eating ice cream.

Jefferson's family has called for the swift prosecution of Dean, who was arrested on Monday and posted bond overnight.

"#AtatianaJefferson deserved to live in a world where she was safe from brutality playing video games in her home with her nephew," Merritt tweeted.

2-year-old boy shot in 'cowardly, violent act' of road rage, suspect charged: Baltimore police

A 2-year-old boy was shot in the stomach in a "cowardly, violent act" of apparent road rage in Baltimore, authorities said.

"You shot a child. Whoever you thought you were shooting at, you didn't shoot," Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said.

The 2-year-old, who had been in the car with his family, was taken to the hospital in "somewhat stable condition" and is expected to survive, police said Saturday.


The boy remained in the hospital Monday morning as the suspected shooter, Javon Johnson, 33, was charged, said police.

 

It's believed the suspect's car and the victim's car were among those stopped at a red light at 12:30 a.m. on Saturday, Harrison said at a news conference on Saturday.

When the light turned green, none of the cars moved through the intersection, even when the driver of the victim's car blew the horn several times, said Harrison.

After hitting the horn several times during the green light cycle, the driver of the victim's car drove around the vehicles at the light and turned the corner, Harrison said.


It's believed the suspect, driving a silver Mazda MPV, followed the victim and fired from his vehicle into the victim's car, Harrison said.

If you can't handle when everyone criticizes you.........get out of the public eye.

YOU ASKED FOR IT. You can't cry like a baby and say that people are picking on you. Put on your adult panties and act like one.


YOU KNEW what you were getting into.

A 13-year-old Kansas student was arrested and charged with a felony after police say she made a gunlike hand gesture at multiple students.


The girl, who attended Westridge Middle School in Overland Park, Kansas, made the gesture at four of her peers and then toward herself on Sept. 18, after being asked which five people she would kill in her class, according to Overland Park Police Chief Frank Donchez. He said the context of this conversation was unclear.

I think that we're on the way to the world with women being in charge of EVERYTHING and men won't be needed for much.

Not meant to be a joke.... I've serious. Women are just praising each other and throwing the men under the bus. Pretty scary for all of us that believe that we are ALL EQUAL (men, women, ALL RACES etc.)




.

If you accuse someone of rape and continue to meet that person for months and have sex.....is it right ???

What the hell ?

Why the hell is she meeting with him for sexual encounters after the "rape"? And for months?

PLEASE explain to me and make it make sense.

Trans Lives Matter protests erupt during Dem Equality Town Hall

Stephen Proctor 6 hours ago

The CNN Equality Town Hall, in which nine democratic presidential candidates participated, was repeatedly interrupted Thursday night by protestors trying to draw attention to violence against trans women of color. So far this year, 20 trans people have been murdered in the U.S., the majority of those being black trans women. During Beto O’Rourke’s time, one protestor took the mic from an audience member about to ask a question.

“Black trans women are being killed in this country,” she said as she approached the stage, “and CNN, you have erased black trans women for the last time. Let me tell you something. Black trans women are dying! Our lives matter!”

Rather than shutting her down, Don Lemon, who had originally asked her to give him the mic, gave it back and let her say her piece.

In a much more subdued moment, Kamala Harris was interrupted mid-answer when an audience member yelled, “How do we get those men to stop killing us? How do we get those men to stop killing trans women of color? We are hunted. Systematically hunted.” “I know,” Harris replied. “I know. You’re right.”

But the protests began even earlier just moments after Pete Buttigeig took the stage. While an audience member was asking the first question, protestors began yelling and approached the stage holding a transgender pride flag with the words “WE ARE DYING” written on it. Then came the chants of “Trans Lives Matter.” Once everything calmed down, Buttigeig took the original question, but before answering, took the time to acknowledge the plight of the protestors.
