A Baytown Police Department officer has been placed on leave after shooting a woman who allegedly attempted to take a Taser off him during an arrest.
An investigation has been launched after a Texas police officer shot and killed a woman during an arrest after she shouted, “I’m pregnant.”
The woman is alleged to have taken the Taser from the officer while he was attempting to put handcuffs on her and used it against him. The officer then shot at the woman multiple times with his firearm. The woman was later pronounced dead at the scene. "It was a sad situation. Tragic. The lady...she did live here. We would often see her, see her walk her dog around," local resident Raquelle Cuellar told ABC 13.“This is the first shooting the officer has been involved in,” said Lt. Steve Dorris of Baytown Police Department, reported KHOU 11. “We'll be out for some time tonight to reconstruct the events and get questions answered.”
