Police stun gun kills 95-year-old Australian woman, officer faces charges.

A 95-year-old Australian woman with dementia died a week after being shot with a stun gun by a police officer in a nursing home. The officer had responded to a report that the woman had taken a steak knife from the kitchen. The incident has sparked a national debate about police use of stun guns and the competence of aged care staff. The officer has been charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and common assault, and the charges are likely to be upgraded following the woman's death.
