Texas cop fatally shoots woman after Taser struggle

A Houston-area police officer fatally shot a woman who he said grabbed his Taser and used it against him, according to The Associated Press.

Baytown Police Lt. Steve Dorris said the officer, an 11-year veteran of the department, encountered the 45-year-old woman on Monday and attempted to arrest her on outstanding warrants while patrolling an apartment complex.

Dorris said the officer opened fire after the woman grabbed his Taser and used it on him, according to the AP.

A video recording of the incident shows the woman saying “You’re actually harassing me” and “I’m actually walking to my house,” and while on the ground she appears to reach toward the officer and say “I’m pregnant.” The officer later fired five shots.
