| A 27-year-old mother of two has been fatally shot by an off-duty sheriff´s deputy after he suspected her of shoplifting at a Houston Walmart. Harris County Sheriff´s deputies have said that victim Shelly Frey, Tisa Andrews and Yolanda Craig were stealing when they were confronted by Louis Campbell a 26-year veteran of the force who works as a security guard at the store. According to Campbell the women ran to their car and when he rushed to open the door, they accelerated away - at which point he fired the deadly shot into the car which hit Frey in the neck.

Comments: Can´t work up a lot of sympathy for this woman. She was clearly shoplifting, then tried to drive away after the cop opened her car door. She migrated to Houston from New Orleans after Katrina.
The poor cop will probably lose his job, though.

The family is probably already working on an excessive force and wrongful death suit.
Remember the pharmacist who got jail time for shooting a robber too many times.Meanwhile the football player who shot his GF 9 times is praised for thanking his coaches for a chance.The players mother who watched the shooting and didn´t intervene is now getting the baby´s upkeep allotment for years to come.

Will not judge yet, but the media are largely inaccurate on this sort of thing, and often intentionally.
They lied about George Zimmerman, and they are probably have at LEAST partial information here. Typically when someone in a car is shot by an officer, it is because they are trying to run him down.
Notice no comments from the officer. Always two sides to a story.

#4, has it already been settled that Mr. Belcher´s mother will raise that baby. I am sure a battle will take place about that and if the team had any brains, they would stipulate that whatever family that gets her is put on a tight money diet so they don´t drain her account.
Our country is experiencing an evil quakening where people are doing stupid horrific things to eachother. It´s too easy to blame this on the effects of being an obama voter. I prefer to know what is it and be prepared for it.

Another version has the guard inside the open car door trying to have her stop and get out of the car, then the driver puts the car in reverse trying to escape but which could have killed the guard by trapping him under the car.
This makes sense, and if true, the perp got her just reward.

She tried to run over the deputy sheriff, who id´ himself as a Harris County Deputy Sheriff, he was wearing the uniform. She chose to steal, she chose to try and run him over by catching him with an open door of her vehicle. No she didn´t have to die but then she made the choice to be stupid. Instead of stopping and dealing with her actions, she decided to attempt to kill the officer to get away.

Not destitute women but professional thieves, who took children with them while they committed their crimes. The ´security guard´ was a trained Harris County deputy and was clearly identifiable as an officer of the law. The victim took her chances and this time lost the gamble. If she would have adhered to her earlier sworn promise, this never would have occurred - "Earlier in the year she pleaded guilty to stealing shirts and a package of meat from another Walmart and as part of her plea arrangement she agreed to never enter Walmart stores again".

Well, it appears that at the time of the shooting, the dead woman was using the car as a deadly weapon. Dummy.
When will people learn it is illegal to steal? They just keep getting away with it.
And one of the comments is very correct. Those children in the car will never forget it. Hopefully, they have learned a lesson.

A car is a deadly weapon,under some circumstances. In addition, I have read that Walmart´s policy on shoplifting is to just let them go... apparently the deputy sheriff didn´t get the message. (Why would he be wearing his official uniform when he was apparently working for Walmart??)

If this is a bad part of town, sometimes the owners of the shopping center (not Walmart) hire security for the site.
Near me, in what used to be a nicer part of ATL is now minority. A T J Maxx, etc, shopping area now had a need for security around the entire shopping area.

Whether or not the shooting was justified depends a lot on the exact sequence of events, who was where, and what they were doing.
As to the kids in the car ... we´re using human shields now at Walmart?

This wasn´t a ´mother´ as the Daily Mail oozes, this was a hardened criminal thief. The guard did the kids a favor, allowing them a chance to be raised by someone with noncriminal values instead of the monster that was supposedly their mother. The guard said he was endangered by her actions and his story seems to stand up. If the guard comes before me as a jurist, I´m letting him off with a full acquittal.

Years ago, I caught a woman putting her hand in my pocket in a shopping mall. She and the young child with her ran off, and I checked my wallet, only to find she had snagged some credit cards.
I called the police, and after waiting about an hour for one to show up, he told me there was nothing he could do, even if he could find the woman. She would have handed off the stolen cards to the child, who would have been instructed to put them in her underpants. The officers, under the law, could only arrest the woman if she had the stolen cards. They could not search the child. That´s one reason why thieves often have kids with them.
I won´t comment on this story until I know more. But as a thief was quoted in our local paper last week, "it´s the Christmas season. I need gifts and money."

The top Republican crafting the Senate’s sweeping immigration-reform legislation acknowledged Sunday the bill still has flaws, while a fellow GOP senator said their party blocking its passage will only add to their “demographic death spiral.” Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants and potential 2016 presidential candidate, said roughly 95 percent of the bill is in “perfect shape” and that the full chamber debates are off to a good start. However, he expressed concerns about whether the legislation ensures adequate border security and said Americans have

Jefferson County, Colo. - A judge ruled on Friday that there is enough evidence for a teen to stand trial for murder and attempted abduction about an hour after prosecutors played a 911 tape where Austin Sigg admitted to killing 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway and to trying to kidnap a female jogger. The five-minute recording played during a Friday preliminary hearing began with the teen´s mother, Mindy Sigg, calling 911 on the night of Oct. 23, 2012. "I need you to come to my house, my son wants to turn himself in for Jessica Ridgeway's murder," the mother tells a dispatcher.

Only four doctors in the U.S. offer third-trimester abortions, knowing they risk their own lives every day to carry out such controversial procedures. These doctors are the subject of a documentary screened at the Sundance film festival last weekend, forty years after the legalization of abortion in the U.S. and four years after Dr Tiller. Physician George Tiller was a prominent practitioner of late-term abortions shot dead by an extremist in 2009. The documentary After Tiller is named for him and focuses on the few remaining doctors who perform abortions in the third trimester of a pregnancy. The Supreme Court granted states the right to limit abortions in the final three months of a pregnancy.

Is the Washington National Cathedral the spiritual center of the nation? In the mind of the liberal Episcopal cathedral’s new dean, it should be. Such an assertion would surprise many of America’s churchgoers, the vast majority of whom are not even Oldline Protestants, let alone Episcopalians. But since assuming leadership of the Cathedral in October, Dean Gary R. Hall has frequently spoken of the church’s role as being “at the center” of American public life.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
