Texas Man in Own Garage Killed By Police Responding to Burglar Alarm Across Street
"Officers felt threatened"
FORT WORTH, Texas — Kathy Waller never imagined that when Jerry Waller went to find out what was causing a ruckus outside their garage early Tuesday morning, it would be the last time she would see her 72-year-old husband alive.
"Married 46 years, and then somebody gets a little trigger-happy and away they go," she told News 8.
Fort Worth police said the shooter was one of their own.
Officers were responding to a burglar alarm off North Havenwood Lane when they ended up on the Waller's property.

I get paid over $87 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I've been doing, ?? Gig60.c?m
