"The officer responded to a call that a door was open at the home in the 1200 block of East Allen Avenue in Fort Worth, Texas." "The officer started out by standing outside the open front door, where the screen was shut, and then walked to the side of the house. The lights in the house were on inside when the officer arrived. The video does not show the officer announcing himself at the doorway or knocking. "The officer opened a gate to the backyard, walked into the backyard, and shined a light on different parts of the exterior of the house. He saw a person watching him from inside the house and yelled from the backyard, “Put your hands up. Show me your hands!” "The officer then shot through the window." "According to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s office, Jefferson was in her bedroom when she was shot. "The officer was responding to a call about an “open structure” (meaning an open door) that was made at 2:25 a.m. Both of the neighbor’s vehicles were in the driveway. Units were dispatched at 2:25 a.m., according to the police timeline shared in the raw video footage. The call was made because the neighbors are usually home at that time but the door is never open. Units arrived at the scene at 2:28 and 2:29. "James Smith, the neighbor who made the call, told WFAA that he called a non-emergency police number to ask for a welfare check. He was concerned because the lights were on and the front door was open. Smith said the officer’s response didn’t make sense. He told WFAA that there was no domestic violence and no arguing. He said: “nothing that they should have been concerned about as far as them coming with guns drawn to my neighbor’s house.” [link to heavy.com (secure)] IT'S PURE PLAIN OUTRIGHT MURDER. |

Turn off the light and sneak a peak around the edge of the window, like in the movies. Don’t make yourself an easy target. Similar thing happened with a man in his front hallway looking out the front door window, shot by the cop who was outside having arrived for a welfare check. I wonder how that case turned out. |

He jumped the gun. Show me where you see that. I can’t even see her in the video much less a gun in her hand and then the cops find the gun on the nightstand Did you get 350 for lyin??? 1:53, and I was pretty sure it was in her hand as she raised them, it fell towards the ground If it's on the nightstand, my apologies. |

Quoting: Sikhed Gun culture makes walking to your neighbor's door dangerous since you could be shot for being mistaken as intruder. Being a police in a gun culture community is definitely triggering an over-cautious reaction especially in today political tension where everyone are getting crazy. If you're sneaking around your neighbor's yard at 2 AM shining light in windows, you deserve to get shot. If everyone packed heat, we wouldn't need cops at all. The cop never should've been there in the first place. Everyone must defend themselves and their family. You cannot trust no gubment. Last Edited by Weyoun on 10/13/2019 02:24 PM |

I live in Ft. Worth and can’t even fathom why the cop didn’t announce himself at the front door. ...for those wondering, it’s been in the 90’s until the cold front came through that night(high30’s), so I’m assuming she has her screen door open because it actually felt nice for once. This isn’t going to end well that’s for sure.... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69903320 Would it be wise approaching the front door when you suspect there's gun violence inside?
