officer shot thru a window and kills a 28 year old unarmed women, seems no reason for it other than a scared officer. more facts will come out that may change the reason for the shooting, but none have yet.
 
The woman was playing video games with her nephew in her bedroom. Apparently she was a Biology major and was working toward medical school.
 
I anticipate the officer will face charges, but its TX so maybe not.
 
TX is very police friendly and the Dallas shooting was far more clear cut. This victim appears to have been armed and the police were responding to a call. Amber Guyger was drunk, trespassing, and off duty. Being on duty changes everything.

Does Texas have a depraved heart murder statute for police? If so this will likely be a no bill.

Regarding the case itself I think this is manslaughter 1 for sure, maybe murder 3, but again being on duty complicated things immensely for any prosecution.
