    That’s an awfully misleading situation. They state that her boyfriend’s gunshot caused her death, which I think most people would reasonably interpret to mean that her boyfriend shot her in the moment, but what they really mean is that if he hadn’t opened fire on police officers entering their home without prior warning, they wouldn’t have returned fire and killed her.

      It also sounds like precedent to excuse cops murdering children.

      “Their parents killed them by opening fire at the intruders they didn’t know were cops with the gun they legally have to protect their family.”
