Fox News
A Texas police officer who fatally shot a U.S. Army veteran who allegedly stabbed a woman at a gas station before fleeing into a nearby creek is now facing criminal charges for not using less lethal force.
Ross, a U.S. Army veteran, was suspected of having repeatedly stabbed a woman, 34-year-old Kiyana Hall, outside a QT gas station near Interstate 20 and Wichita Street in the suburb outside of Fort Worth. Hall died from her wounds. Investigators believe Ross fled with a knife still in hand to a nearby creek, where he was found by two responding officers. Body camera footage reviewed by Texas Rangers showed Ross pacing back and forth in the creek when Barr and his partner ordered him to freeze and drop the knife. Ross did not comply with their commands, so the officers deployed a less lethal shotgun.More Related News
