This is going to be very hard to defend, if the article truly reflects what happened. How awful.

No. He may have been inept, he may have shot unnecessarily, but you don’t know. What I do know is unlikely is that he intended to kill her in malice. Manslaughter at max... oh, and for all you know she was holding something that looked like a gun.

It’s soooo easy to be an armchair quarterback.

In this case, it sounds like they have body cam footage, so there will likely be pretty clear answers.

Body cam shows that he never announced him self as a cop.

This has a few more details, and it makes it clear there is body camera footage.

So the door is open, but the screen door in front of the door is closed. Like you do on a cool night. Lights on in the home.

He was called for a welfare check - "open structure" - wouldn't the officer first knock on the front door, to see if the woman was ok? Why, at 2 a.m., go around the back of the house looking in the windows?

It would be interesting to know what he was told that the nature of the call was a concerned neighbor, who noticed his neighbor's lights were on and the door was open, and was concerned about her.

At least second degree murder if you ask me based on the video.

What right does a cop have to go up to a window of a home and tell someone inside the home to put up their hands or he will fire through the window?

WTF?

Again, he had no information about any criminal activity in said home, even alleged activity.
