The Culpeper woman fatally shot by a local police officer Thursday morning had closed her driver's side window and was dragging the officer alongside her as she drove away, according to new information from the Virginia State Police. [More]That would be the woman whose neighbor described her as "really nice, and always smiling and laughing with you."
Thing is, her husband says "his wife's car had no power windows."
And a witness says it didn't happen the way police are claiming:
He describes an encounter which looked and sounded like the officer shooting a person a point blank range, not because he feared for his life, but because the woman did not obey his order to stop rolling up the window.
Funny--we know the child-loving Sunday School volunteer victim's name, her husband's name, the witness's name...but we still don't know "the officer's" name...that must not be in the public interest to disclose.
