'He didn't have time to perceive a threat. That's murder.” 9News

"It's another one of those situations where the people that are supposed to protect us are actually not here to protect us," said Jefferson's sister, Amber Carr.An aunt, Venitta Body, said the family does not understand why Jefferson was killed.

Police said the officer, who's been on the force since April 2018, is on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation. His name was not released. James Smith, who called a police non-emergency number about the open door, told reporters he was just trying to be a good neighbour. However, the bodycam video released to media included blurred still frames showing a gun inside a bedroom at the home. It's unclear if the firearm was found near the woman, and police have not said that the officer who shot her thought she had a gun. The police statement released Saturday said only that officers who entered the residence after the shooting found a firearm. Police did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Sunday.

Looked like murder to me!
