Three San Antonio police officers have been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a woman who was experiencing what the city's police chief said was a"mental health crisis."
"They placed themselves in a situation where they used deadly force which was not reasonable given all the circumstances as we now understand them," McManus said.According to McManus, one of the three charged officers opened fire after Perez first threw a glass candlestick at the officers then swung a hammer at them. All three officers then fired when Perez approached them again with the hammer, hitting her at least twice, according to McManus.
"It appeared that Miss Perez was having a mental health crisis," McManus said without offering further explanation, and she then ran into her apartment. Other officers were also at the scene, but none are expected to be charged, although all will be investigated for their actions, McManus said.
