"Three San Antonio Police Officers Charged with Murder in Fatal Shooting of Woman"

Three San Antonio police officers have been charged with murder after shooting and killing a 46-year-old woman, Melissa Perez, who appeared to be in distress and swung a hammer in their direction in her home. The officers received a call of a disturbance at an apartment complex and found Perez cutting fire alarm wires. After Perez ran into her apartment and locked the door, the officers climbed over her porch railing and threatened to shoot her. Perez picked up a candle and threw it at an officer, and then swung a hammer towards them. All three officers opened fire, hitting Perez at least twice. The officers have been suspended without pay and are being investigated by internal affairs.
