Video has captured the moment a US police officer shot a woman, moments after she yelled 'I'm pregnant' - police later confirmed she was not pregnant

The lieutenant said the officer, who is yet to be identified, was patrolling an apartment complex when he spotted the woman, who he'd dealt with before.

After approaching her, a"struggle ensued" causing the officer to use his Taser. Lt Dorris said the woman gained control of the stun gun, turning it back on the officer, forcing him to use his pistol and fire multiple rounds at the woman. In the video, shared widely on Snapchat and Facebook, the woman can be heard telling the officer"I'm actually walking to my house".Shortly after, the woman can be heard yelling"I'm pregnant" before shots can be heard.

"It's unfortunate that someone takes a tragic incident like this and starts posting it to social media. It's extremely disrespectful to everybody involved but that's the day and age we live in with social media," he said.

Woman fined $250 for stabbing stranger with stiletto19-year-old Kyle Johns was on a night out in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley when he was attacked a complete stranger who armed herself with her stiletto shoe. 9News From my experience, when someone is drunk, the defences are down and so it's restraint. It's then that we get a glimpse of the real person. Pathetic! Her claim of drunkeness maybe a reason BUT NEVER AN EXCUSE! Time for the judiciary to WAKE UP!! Those who pay their salaries (the public) demand better and you pollies need to recognise that! The tail should NOT wag the dog. 👌 Nothing surprises me anymore. We truly live in clownworld.

Shortening the odds: the woman humanising Bill's bid for The LodgeIf Bill Shorten wins next weekend’s federal election, his will be the first blended family in The Lodge. Managing that transition will be wife Chloe, a campaign-trail asset happy to serve up the smiles, but decidedly less willing to cater for serious scrutiny. GoodWeekendMag Not sure why she should be scrutinised at all. We’re not voting for her. By contrast, Morrison’s wife is so opaque most couldn’t even name her. GoodWeekendMag if he loses the election , I bet he loses her as well …...imagine waking up with that next to you ... GoodWeekendMag Jesus Christ! Are you right there? Bill’s mum, now Chloe..
