A US officer shot and killed a 44-year-old woman in the parking lot of the apartment complex where she lived, authorities said.

Baytown - An 11-year officer with the Baytown, Texas, Police Department shot and killed a 44-year-old woman Monday night in the parking lot of the apartment complex where she lived, authorities said - an altercation that a witness captured on video.

Fuck Baytown PD Y'all ain't have to shoot that lady y'all on some straight bullshit!!! There's a such thing as Less Lethal you dumb ass bitches. on top of that the lady had mental issues !! pic.twitter.com/1v71WjnVTeThe video is dark, but it shows what appears to be her breaking free from the officer and moving toward the apartment buildings.

Dorris told reporters Monday night that the woman was struck by at least one bullet and died at the scene. The officer has been placed on paid administrative leave, Dorris said. He was not injured severely enough to be treated at a hospital. Paid administrative leave is "not a vacation," Dorris said. "They need time to cope with that and wrap their brains around what transpired."

Floyd Rubin, who said he has two children with Turner, told CNN that authorities have not shared information about the shooting with him and his family.
