Oops: Officer Responds to Prowler Call, Resident Rushes Out Screaming with Gun

In an officer-involved shooting that is reminiscent of Texas Police Officer Aaron Dean's 2019 prowler-investigating shooting of Atatiana Jefferson--for which Dean was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 11 years and 10 months in jail (perhaps not coincidentally that shooting occurred on November 10)--another Texas police officer has shot and killed another homeowner while responding to a prowling call.
Last week Texas Police Officer Lauren Nick responded to a prowling call, briefly investigated the area, then rang the doorbell of the caller. Almost instantly, Aaliyah Anders​, a 26-year-old black woman, rushed out of the door, screaming wildly, and pointing a handgun at Officer Nick. Nick responded with four rounds fired in self-defense, killing Anders.

Not that it should matter, but in both cases the shooting victim was black. Officer Dean was white. I am unaware of the race of Officer Nick.
This event was captured on both the officer's body-worn camera and on the residence Ring camera, and I'll share those videos during today's show. ​
