The former Dallas police officer facing a murder charge in the shooting of Botham Jean made a desperate 911 call in which she says at least 19 times that she thought she was in her own apartment.
Amber Guyger, 30, alternates between talking to the dispatcher, to Jean, to herself, and finally, to responding officers. Crying as the dispatcher tells her help is on the way, she replies,"I know, but I'm going to lose my job. I thought it was my apartment."To Jean, she says,"Hey man," before saying to no one in particular,"F**k."She was correct about her job.
Police fire officer in Botham Jean shooting case 00:46"I'm inside the apartment with him," she tells the dispatcher, before urging Jean,"Hey, come on, man."She continues,"Hey, bud. Hey, bud. Hey, bud. Come on. Oh, f**k. ... I thought it was my apartment."Guyger urges the dispatcher to hurry before repeating several times that she thought she was in her own apartment."I could've sworn I parked on the third floor," she says.
CNN granted access to Botham Jean's apartment 03:30She issued verbal commands, but Jean, being in his own home, did not heed them, and Guyger fired two shots, hitting him once in the torso, the affidavit said. Guyger called 911 and began administering first aid to Jean. She turned on the lights while on the phone with 911. Only when asked for her address did she realize she was in the wrong apartment, she told police.
Botham Jean's minister: Sadness can't be erased 01:29Jean's mother, Allison Jean, applauded the upgraded charge, saying that Guyger"inflicted tremendous evil on my son.""He didn't deserve it," she said."He was seated in his own apartment. He felt safe and he was violated by her coming in and murdering him."Allison Jean said she hopes a guilty verdict and suitable punishment will spur Guyger to reflect on what she has done and the pain she has caused.
