Oct 14 (Reuters) — A white Fort Worth, Texas, police officer has resigned and faces criminal charges after he shot dead a 28-year-old black woman inside her home, the city’s police chief said on Monday. “Had the officer not resigned, I would have fired him for violations of several policies,” Kraus told reporters. “Despite his resignation, the officer still faces criminal charges.”Jefferson’s family on Monday called for a federal investigation and Dean’s swift prosecution. As Dean looks through a bedroom window, he suddenly yells, “Put your hands up, show me your hands,” then fires. Police over the weekend released a picture showing a firearm inside Jefferson’s home.
