Texas officer shoots woman who said she was pregnant

A police officer from Baytown, Texas, is on paid administrative leave after he shot and killed a woman at an apartment complex Monday night when he attempted to arrest her for outstanding warrants.

The altercation — which was captured on video and from a witness then shared on Snapchat — shows the officer attempting to arrest the woman in a parking lot at the complex.

In the 39-second clip, the 45-year-old woman is heard telling the officer that he “is harassing her."

About 17 seconds into the clip, the officer is then seen firing a taser at the woman. As the woman laid on the ground, she yelled “I’m pregnant” to the officer. Seconds later, the officer fired his weapon five times. At least one of the rounds struck her, killing the woman.

A family member identified the woman as Pamela Shantay Turner.

The video, which you can view below, contains disturbing imagery. Viewer discretion is advised.
