A Texas police officer shot and killed a 45-year-old woman while trying to arrest her. A witness captured the altercation on video.

A Texas police officer shot and killed a 45-year-old woman while trying to arrest her Monday night, authorities said.

A struggle ensued when the officer attempted to arrest her for those warrants, Dorris said. The officer deployed his Taser on the woman, but, as he was trying to handcuff her, she apparently got hold of the device and used it on him. A witness captured the altercation on video, which was obtained by ABC News. In the 30-second footage, the woman can be heard telling the officer,"I'm actually walking to my house," and shouting,"I'm pregnant," before she's shot.

Good

I can't believe how easily this occurs. It seems some officers need to go back to conflict resolution class. The rate of death at police officers is starting to outnumber crime across the country. That's a shame.

1). I think PamelaTurner killed 'cause she (aware or not of outstanding arrest warrant) was strong enough to seize taser from police & taser police w/ police's taser! 2). 'Cause involved Baytown officer knew Ms. Turner, I find his informal arrest fishy. Texas, KilledByPolice

Resisting arrest , stealing cops weapon & assaulting himCop had no choice And she lied about being pregnant

Maybe she should've listened.

Funny in any attempt to justify shooting her the police make sure to say she had outstanding warrants and that the cop has been on the force ten years and it's his first involvement in a shooting. You know they're lying about her tazing the cop with a stun that was used.

You don't struggle with a pregnant woman, many become very moody and easily angered because of the stress in their body

Hands up don't shoots my motto!!! Smk stopresisting

Why That is just over use of deadly force. Put him in jail

Killing 2 lives ? 🙏

She got what she deserved. Cop did the right thing

I am sure she was being cooperative and law abiding without saying anything disrespectful or reisisting in any which way . Just sitting down studying for finals when along came this mean Policeman and shot her .. RIGHT?

Why don’t people just freaking cooperate with the law...such senseless stupidity.

They just train lunatic killers & put them in charge of the people's life with licenses to kill.why a police officer give himself permission to shut & kill an unarmed woman there is no justification for this crime anywhere in the world .

Shoot someone and get paid leave.

If life begins at conception according to the regressives in Texas, does this count as abortion? Double homicide?

ABC hates cops. But can’t wait to call 911 when they need them. More bias bs from the left.

I wonder what the warrants were for. This is where need to do some more digging. What are these warrants that the officer committed her image to memory, so much so, he recognized her under such low light. … And the plot thickens …

Few things stir emotions in people more than Trump related news or police involve shootings. News Orgs know this. So they run with it.

He should not have tased her he put her in a situation where she was protecting her baby! Now mother and baby are both dead! There were other solutions!

45 year old pregnant lady? Do we know for sure if she was pregnant. Seems a little old to me. Sad situation.

If she took/grabbed the officer's weapon, he had no choice.

The US government entrust police officers with weapons such as guns but they use these guns wrongly and kill innocent people even before they stand before a judge.

She took the officers stunt gun and tried to use it on him. Your title makes it seem that the officer just shot her for no reason. You are fakenews

Can the media simply allow all the facts to come out before creating a firestorm. They were wrong on Ferguson, wrong w TrayvonMartin, wrong w Baltimore, wrong w Cambridge etc but caused significant damage perpetuating false narratives.

if you can't subdue a 45 year old woman without riddling her with bullets you shouldn't be a cop.

Charge his ss...

So can we get a stillshot?

She didn't think about her pregnancy when she was kicking and punching the police officer, right?

Comply with a police officer’s commands and that won’t happen to you

The races are different. Laws made by and for one race should not be expected to apply in any sensible way to another race. That's like expecting dogs to act like chickens. Would you have the same expectations of them?

Texas abortion

Party City will close 45 stores because of the world's helium shortageHelium is the second-most abundant element in the galaxy, yet Party City is struggling to find enough of the gas to fill balloons. Maybe take some hot air from your 30 left leaning panelists who Trump bash all day with story spinning, and fill the balloons that way? Hot air us on sale at the White House. Now THERE’s an untapped wealth of gas, seemingly given away for free on a daily basis. Good because most of those helium filled balloons end up in the Oceans and Waterways killing sea life. Balloon Releases need to be outlawed.
