The Latest: Affidavit: Cop said neighbor's door was ajar
DALLAS (AP) — The Latest on a fatal shooting involving an off-duty Dallas police officer (all times local):
3:50 p.m.
An investigator says a Dallas police officer who shot and killed her neighbor after mistaking his apartment for her own said that when she inserted her key in his door, it opened because it had been slightly ajar.
David Armstrong of the Texas Rangers wrote in an arrest affidavit released Monday that Officer Amber Guyger said it was nearly completely dark inside the apartment when she entered it Thursday night and she thought she was encountering a burglar in her home.
He says Guyger said the person ignored her verbal commands and she fired twice. One struck Jean in the chest and he later died.
