Trial for Texas officer who killed Black woman hinges on gun

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Atatiana Jefferson was holding a gun but never raised it to point at the white police officer who fatally shot her through a rear window of her Texas home, the Black woman's 11-year-old nephew testified at the officer's murder trial Monday. The officer's defense attorney said the boy said otherwise immediately after the shooting.
