Detroit cops probe how officer's holstered gun killed woman
Detroit police still don't know how an off-duty officer's holstered gun discharged and killed a woman who reportedly embraced him from behind during a backyard party, according to news reports.Adaisha Miller -- who would have turned 25 today -- died of a single gunshot wound that passed through a lung and struck her heart early Sunday. Although the medical examiner ruled her death a homicide, Police Chief Ralph Godbee Jr. said a preliminary investigation indicates it was an accident, the Detroit Free Press says.
The shooting happened about 12:30 a.m. Sunday at the home of Officer Issac Parrish. Godbee said at a news conference that Miller was dancing behind Parrish and touching his waist when his department-issued Smith & Wesson M&P 40-caliber semi-automatic somehow fired.
