Humble, Texas
Two police tactical experts said they would not advise officers to use their guns to shatter a car window during an attempted arrest because of the risks involved — something that became patently clear Monday when such an incident turned fatal outside Deerbrook Mall.
An Humble police officer had apprehended two suspects in an alleged crime. One of the suspects, whose identity has not been released, was accidentally shot to death by the police officer, who used his duty weapon to break the passenger window of the truck, Humble police said.
Police refused to answer further questions about the case or discuss its departmental policies Tuesday and did not release the name of the police officer who fired the fatal shot.
But two police tactical experts said the action taken by the Humble police officer is not common practice and is not taught in police academies.
