An Arlington, Texas, woman, identified Friday as 30-year-old Margarita Victoria Brooks, died from a gunshot wound Thursday after an officer fired several shots at a dog, hitting her in the
process. Brooks, the daughter of an Arlington Fire Department captain, was the subject of a welfare check that reported she was “passed out” in a grassy area. An Arlington Police Department
(APD) release says the unnamed patrol officer called out to the woman and received no response, but instead an “unrestrained dog” barked and ran towards him. He then fired multiple shots at
the canine while running backwards from the animal. At least one bullet missed and made contact with the woman lying in the grass. She reportedly began to yell out after the cop fired and
was carried off to Medical City Arlington by EMS, where she was later pronounced dead at around 6 p.m.
