FORT WORTH, Texas — The woman wounded by a Fort Worth police officer this week asked the officer to shoot her and was holding a knife at her side when the officer fired, footage released by the department Thursday shows.
Shortly after 11:30 p.m. Monday, an officer was dispatched to the 5900 block of Greenspoint Drive, near Boca Raton Boulevard and Oakland Hills Drive, where a woman had called and said she was “bleeding out” and attempting suicide, police said.
In clips from a body-worn camera, the officer is seen knocking on the door before yelling “Police, open the door” twice.
