Body camera footage shows Los Angeles County deputy fatally shoot woman who called 911

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department released body camera footage showing a deputy killing a woman who had called 911 for an alleged domestic violence incident.

When three deputies arrived at the apartment, Finlayson opened the front door holding a large kitchen knife and said she was going to stab her boyfriend for allegedly hurting her 9-year-old daughter. Her daughter was standing next to her and appeared to tell deputies that the man had "punched" or "pushed" her.

Deputy Ty Shelton shot Finlayson four times within roughly three seconds of entering the apartment, body camera footage shows. Shelton had asked another deputy for her Taser right before entering the apartment and was holding the Taser in one hand and a handgun in the other when he shot Finlayson with the firearm. It did not appear that any of the three deputies at the scene used any other weapons or deescalation tactics before Shelton fired his gun.
