Betty Shelby Charged With Manslaughter In Terence Crutcher Shooting

Betty Shelby, the Tulsa police offi­cer who shot and killed Terence Crutcher last week, faces a charge of first-degree manslaugh­ter, Tulsa County District Attorney Stephen Kunzweiler announced Thursday. “In the mat­ter of the death of Terence Crutcher, I deter­mined that the fil­ing of the felony crime of manslaugh­ter in the first degree against Tulsa police offi­cer Betty Shelby is war­rant­ed,” Kunzweiler said. An arrest war­rant has been issued for Shelby, whose attor­ney said she opened fire because she feared Crutcher might have been reach­ing for a weapon. Police failed to find a weapon on Crutcher or in the car. http://​www​.huff​in​g​ton​post​.com/​e​n​t​r​y​/​t​e​r​e​n​c​e​-​c​r​u​t​c​h​e​r​-​b​e​t​t​y​-​s​h​e​l​b​y​_​u​s​_​5​7​e​4​4​2​1​9​e​4​b​0​8​d​7​3​b​8​3​0​5​8​4​0​?​s​e​c​t​i​o​n=&
