A private autopsy shows a Houston-area police officer shot a mentally ill woman in the stomach, chest and face when the two struggled during an attempted arrest, a lawyer for the victim's family said Wednesday.
Police have said Officer Juan Delacruz opened fire after the 44-year-old woman hit him in the groin with his Taser during a struggle. Turner's family has presented the officer as the aggressor, and they repeatedly said Wednesday that he shouldn't have escalated a confrontation with a woman he knew had paranoid schizophrenia.
Moments later, something flashes as she reaches her arm out toward the officer. Suddenly, he pulls away from Turner, steps back and fires five gunshots.
