Dallas PD Fires Police Officer Who Shot Black Man in His Own Apartment
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Dallas Police Department has fired the white police officer who shot
and killed a 26-year-old black man in his own apartment. The officer,
Amber Guyger, entered Botham Jean's apartment and opened fire, killing
him on September 6. Police claim the officer believed it to be her
apartment. While Guyger was charged with manslaughter after the
shooting, she remained on the police force until Monday. The
announcement of her firing came on the same day Botham Jean's family
buried his body in his home country of St. Lucia.
