“[The officer] noticed a female laying in the parking lot who suffered from a severe injury. He also noticed a male suspect holding a rifle,” said Wylie PD spokesman Sgt. Donald English. “[The officer] gives the male orders to obey because obviously he knows the woman is injured. He does not obey those commands. The officer takes a shot trying to get to the woman to give aid to her.”
The officer in question has been on the force for seven years and was wearing a body camera, according to English.
When pressed about what exactly led the officer to open fire and whether the suspect raised his rifle toward the officer, English responded: “I’m not sure exactly at what point, if he raised, he was holding the rifle. He was considered a threat to that female and to that officer.”
No other injuries were reported. The City of DeSoto would like to extend our condolences to the family of the children who perished in this morning’s fire, a city news release read.
Versey Washington, who lives across the street from the home, said she woke up to find the flashing lights and that when she went outside the home was engulfed in fire.
Washington said later in the morning she sat and talked with a firefighter she described as torn apart. We sat right there on the planter in the front and I just kind of consoled him and told him that I knew he had a tough job. I could tell he was really broken apart, Washington said.
