Published reporting indicates that newly released body-camera video shows a Fort Worth officer firing toward a woman during a foot chase, followed immediately by another officer asking why he fired.
An earlier account says the officer fired once after believing the woman was reaching into a purse. She was not struck.
What the reported footage adds
The newly reported exchange adds an immediate reaction from another officer to the earlier incident chronology. The available reports do not identify the officer who fired, say whether the officer’s duty status changed or state the status of any investigation.
The gun and ammunition claims are separate
Earlier reporting, citing police, says no gun was found in the woman’s purse, on her or at her residence. That reported absence is separate from the police claim about ammunition found at the residence.
The woman was arrested on suspicion of evading arrest, according to published reporting. Police said ammunition at her residence matched a casing from the original shots-fired scene.
The episode is separate from DFW Daily Brief’s earlier coverage of a Fort Worth police specialist returning to work after a line-of-duty injury.
