, the woman who was shot and killed by a police officer while she was in her own home.
Jefferson's story has made national news -- a neighbor had called police early Saturday morning to check on Jefferson after he saw a door was open at her home in Fort Worth, Texas., arrived at the home ... he saw a person inside, and before ever announcing he was a police officer, he opened fire and shot Jefferson, killing the 28-year-old.Jefferson had been peacefully, innocently watching her 8-year-old nephew at the home.
Now, Barnes -- who played for the Dallas Mavericks for 3 years before being traded to the Kings -- has offered to help out the family and foot the bill for the funeral, which is scheduled for Saturday in Dallas. Barnes has made a lot of money in his NBA career -- he recently signed a 4-year, $85 million extension. He has earned a reputation for being extremely generous with his money and often giving back to the community.

The Fort Worth officer who shot Atatiana Jefferson wasn't actually asked to do welfare checkWhen Atatiana Jefferson's neighbor called police, he says he expected them to go check and see if she was OK. But the officer who shot her in her own home was sent on a call that police often handle as a potential burglary. Duh. Is it considered to be a 'High Crime' Area? Oh setting up his mistrial or acquittal already I see. The Queen hasn’t even had her homegoing service and y’all already trying it. Why don’t y’all focus on reporting on his lack of cooperation and have several seats!

Facts are still facts. Do better. Oh there certainly is a pattern of violence....just not with the police. Mormons own Florida. Mormons have knocked on every door. Mormons have a list and she was on the list.
