A Fort Worth, Texas, a woman was shot and killed through her bedroom window by a police officer responding to a neighbor’s call stating that her front door was open. His bodycam recording showed he looked around in the front through the doorway, and garage, and without announcing his presence went around to the back yard. He saw her in the upstairs window, ordered her to show her hands, but immediately fired his weapon. He’d failed, apparently, to make any warning announcement that he was a police officer on the scene. Was she holding a gun, perhaps fearing there was a prowler in her yard? What factors led to this death, and what are the karmic consequences for those involved, including the next-door neighbor simply wanting to be sure she was safe?
