We speak with civil rights attorney Ben Crump about a Houston woman shot five times by police after they mistook her for an intruder. Eboni Pouncy and her friend were asleep in the back of the friend’s apartment when they were woken up by two officers who began shooting through a window. The officers were responding to an alleged break-in after Pouncy’s friend broke a window to enter her apartment when she forgot her key. Newly released body-camera footage shows the shooting barrage. “It is clearly excessive. I mean, they shot over two dozen rounds,” says Crump, who asks why police officers “shoot first and ask questions later” when they encounter law-abiding African Americans who are armed. He compares the case to the police killing of Breonna Taylor in her apartment in 2020.
