A Texas officer who fatally shot a woman in her home over the weekend while responding to a call about an open front door, has been charged with murder, authorities said on Oct. 14.

The 34-year-old Fort Worth police officer, Aaron Dean, who resigned shortly before his murder charge, was jailed on $200,000 bond after the police chief said he acted without justification and would have been fired if he hadn’t quit.
