Sharpshooter opens fire after perceived threat to officers
A sniper with the Austin police department’s SWAT unit is on paid administrative leave after a standoff resulted in the execution of a woman who was already threatening suicide.
Police were summoned to a North Austin apartment early Sunday morning after the victim’s boyfriend called 9-1-1 claiming the 31-year-old woman was threatening to take her own life.
Police say they attempted to negotiate with the woman in person and over the phone for hours, but that she refused to cooperate or obey orders.
“She said she wasn’t going to jail,” a neighbor who overheard the negotiations told KEYE-TV. “They told her, ‘We won’t take you to jail. We’ll take you to get some help.’ She wasn’t having that.”

Good shoot Officer.
Sounds like my ex-wife. There ain't no fixing that. It would have happened over and over again.
Wow, cops are the nut cases that support them are just looking for excuses to kill people while on their daily state sponsored power trip outings.
6:48, what would you do if some nut case was pointing a gun a you?
I hope you need a police officer some day and they don't show up.
Look, I like cops, most are good, but seriously, some of these roid rage rabid cops need to gtfo
Sounds good to me, I think this officer also needs to go to DC, there is a Muslim there hell bent on killing America.
