“The officer retreated backwards from the running dog while drawing his duty firearm. The officer discharged his firearm multiple times towards the dog,” police said in a statement. “After the shots were fired, the woman yelled out and it was apparent she was injured.
The woman was transported to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.

The whole incident was captured on the officer’s body camera, which will be included in the ongoing investigation, according to police.

Footage from the officer's body-worn camera released Friday shows the officer walking along a sidewalk and calling out, "Hello. Are you OK?"
The woman replies, "Yeah, I'm fine." A dog approaches and the officer asks, "Is that your dog?"
As the barking dog runs toward him, the officer yells, "Get back!" He begins to back up and then fires three shots. The woman screams, "Oh, my God!" and continues to cry out.

As well as a clip of the video. I don't know how they got it. It may be taken down, so if this video clip doesn't show, that's probably why.
Thirdly, she's pretty and white. There'll be an outcry. The officer is Asian. He might even get fired or tried.
