Dallas, TX (WBAP/KLIF) – Dallas Police say a manslaughter warrant is coming for an Officer involved in a fatal shooting Thursday night.
The Officer had just finished her shift and went to her South Side Flats apartment building where she allegedly entered the wrong unit and shot a man inside.

“I have spoken with the Jean family,” said Chief Hall. “Our condolences have been given to them.”
Hall said the Texas Rangers are taking over the investigation.
“In order for us to be truly transparent to this community, given the circumstances, we have invited the Texas Rangers to conduct this investigation.”
