The Dallas police officer who fatally shot a man Thursday after she mistakenly entered his apartment, thinking it her own, has been identified as Amber Guyger.
She has worked with the Dallas Police Department for four years and was involved in another shooting in May 2017. In that incident, Guyger shot a suspect she said was reaching for another officer's Taser during a struggle. He survived, and she wasn't charged.
