This time, I read an article about a black woman who was shot and killed by the police through a bedroom window. Atatiana Jefferson was only 28 years old and staying at the Fort Worth residence with her eight year old nephew when her neighbour had called the police about an open door, worried about an intruder in her house. When the police arrived, they saw Ms. Jefferson through the bedroom window, perceived her as a threat and opened fire. It is unknown if the victim was holding a weapon, but firearm posession is legal in Texas and from the released footage, we see the police most likely never identified themselves before shooting. The officer, a white man, is now on administrative leave, awaiting an investigation.
