This happened in Northeast Houston, at the Pines of Woodforest apartment complex, around 2 a.m. on February 3. Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies, responding to a different call within the same complex, fired dozens of rounds into an apartment after mistaking resident Eboni Pouncy for an intruder. Pouncy and the apartment resident, Laronda Berry, had broken Berry’s apartment window to gain entry after losing their key, which led a neighbor to alert the deputies.
Body camera footage released after demands from community leaders and family shows deputies peaking through the broken window and opening fire when they saw Pouncy approaching the door with a legally owned handgun, hitting her five times. The incident, which left the home riddled with bullet holes, has sparked outrage, with Berry stating, "The only crime that was committed that day was done by the police." The deputies involved have been placed on administrative leave pending investigations by the sheriff’s office and the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
Civil Rights attorney Ben Crump, representing Pouncy, criticized the deputies' actions and compared the incident to the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor in 2020.
(1) Not sure if they ever clearly announce that they were police.
(2) Why did they start shooting when no one shot at them, and keep shooting when no one shot back?
(3) How could they empty two mags into a house where they did not have a clear view of who they were shooting at? They could have murdered an entire family?
(4) Why didn’t the two police officers retreat? Was there any compelling reason for them to fire?
