Police woman shoots man in wrong apartment

THE first pictures have emerged of two hero cops and a local musician killed by a gunman who slaughtered four in a mass shooting in Canada yesterday. Sara Mae Burns, 43, and Lawrence Robb Costello, 45, lost their lives in the line of duty when officers rushed to a suburban apartment complex in Fredericton at 7am. Bobbie Lee Wright, 32, and her new boyfriend, local musician Donnie Robichaud, 42, were also shot dead by the gunman. Matthew Vincent Raymond, 48, has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder.

Attorneys for the family of a black man who was shot and killed by a white Dallas police officer who says she mistook his apartment for hers are criticizing an affidavit that gives a narrative of what happened. The lawyers said the arrest affidavit released Monday contradicts neighbors' accounts. Amid their concerns, though, the district attorney said the case against Amber Guyger will get a hard look by her office and be presented to a grand jury, which could decide on more serious charges than manslaughter in last week's shooting of 26-year-old Botham Jean.

And Lee Merritt, who is also representing the family, called it an attempt to "condone what happened, give her a break." The document, prepared by a Texas Ranger, appeared to be based almost entirely on Guyger's account. Affidavit: Officer Shot Into Darkened … [Read more...] about Attorneys Question Officer’s Account of Neighbor’s Shooting
