    The exact circumstances of how Ms Harrison was shot have not been publicly revealed. A heavily redacted police report previously said a suspect had been identified by officers, along with five witnesses, at her father’s property.

    Has she been murdered by the police?

      My thought as well, though this is in texas so why would they be bothering to cover it up? It’s not like they’d be convicted anyways.

        Maybe in this case it’s was blatant? Maybe it’s because it’s a pretty blond woman, which traditionally are rallying points for outrage?

        why would they be bothering to cover it up?

        Possibly due to international implications? Guessing now.

      The only situation I could imagine in which this decision could possibly be justified is if a small child got hold of a gun (because Texas) and shot her in play, and they’re trying not to ruin the kid’s life.

        Wealthy or poor kid? If it was a poor kid, they would have arrested the parents.

          And the kid. And shot the dog. And likely deported the neighbor.
