The PO that killed her neighbor was convicted and that was also in Texas.
What a shame the PO didn't just knock on the door and call in the house to make sure she was OK.
Why when he saw "a person" in the window he didn't ask if it was her?
It wasn't like the neighbor called to say they saw someone suspicious at the house.
Such a tragedy, my heart goes out to her family.
Maybe he could have thought out of the box a little and walked up to the door and called out hello, police, is everyone all right in there, does anyone need help? Nah, much better to handle it professionally by peering through windows and shooting at the first thing that moves. She would have been better off going to bed for the night with her door wide open. Tragic she wasn't safe in her own home. I feel for her family and for the neighbor who tried to do a good thing for her.
That department needs to seriously review how they train and certify people to wear the badge and carry a gun.
