警方说,这名死者是有犯罪记录、要被通缉的:
According to police, the officer was patrolling the Brixton Apartments in Baytown, a midsize Texas city east of Houston, at10:40 p.m。, when he saw Turner。 Authorities said she was wanted on outstanding warrants for assault and criminal mischief, and the officer knew her from previous interactions。
据警方表示,这名警官当晚10点40分时看到了特纳,当时他正在贝城(德州中型城市,位于休斯顿以东)的布里克斯顿公寓巡逻。警方说,特纳之前因为“殴打和刑事犯罪”而被通缉,而这名警官则是从之前打交道的经历中认出了她。

“I‘m walking! I’m actually walking to my house!” the woman screams at him。 She later says the officer is“harassing” her。
“我就在这走路!我就是往家里走(而已)!”女子尖叫着。之后,她称这名警察在“骚扰”她。
The video shows the officer apparently trying to handcuff the woman, but she breaks free。

在《华盛顿邮报》的报道里,根据视频显示,泰瑟枪(一种电击枪)开枪的声音响起过好几次:
The Taser noise is heard again。 The officer backs away, and she sits up。 Then he shoots— rapidly, five times。
泰瑟枪的噪音再度响起。该警察转身,女子坐了起来。然后警察快速扣动扳机——开了五枪。
Dorris told reporters Monday night that the woman was struck by at least one bullet and died at the scene。

不过,虽然这被美国警方称作“正常执行公务”的事件 (“……as is normal in these types of incidents。”),在一些媒体眼中,却不完全是那么回事。
有美国媒体直接用了较为煽动情绪的标题,加入了“黑人”“手无寸铁”等关键词:

警方表示,目前涉事警察正在“带薪行政休假” (paid administrative leave)。
而该案件的后续进展,还要等进一步的调查才能知晓。
