Colorado shooting: Court affidavit reveals why cops didn't believe woman who shot alleged intruder
Fox News
A recently filed court affidavit has revealed why police didn't believe a Colorado woman who is facing an attempted murder charge after she claimed to shoot an alleged home intruder in Aurora on Saturday.
Strunk told police she observed a physical struggle and that Garcia quickly took Wertin to the floor. She claimed she shot Garcia in an effort to protect Wertin from being strangled to death, authorities said. Strunk was originally detained and released, in part, because of limited information to corroborate or refute her statement to police after the incident. But a court affidavit, filed over the weekend, alleged that video evidence showed Wertin was the aggressor as he entered the hallway at the apartment. The video didn't appear to show Garcia punching or choking Wertin, the affidavit stated, despite the earlier statements by Strunk.More Related News
