Elderly Australian woman dies after being tasered by police.

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 been called after the woman took 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 is due to appear in court on July 5.
