A Texas police officer confronted by a loose dog pulled out his gun and opened fire Thursday, missing the animal and striking a woman standing nearby, killing her. In the video, the officer is seen stepping backwards, pulling out his handgun and firing three shots toward the dog. The woman, who was identified as 30-year-old Margarita Victoria Brooks, was transported to a nearby hospital, where she died of a gunshot wound to the chest. The dog was taken to a shelter and appeared to have suffered a bullet grazing wound. Posted By Persist
