According to what's in the OP, her registered gun was not pointed at the officer, and he was in full riot gear. Did he order her to drop it first? Was she deaf? He shot twice, THEN told her to move away from the gun...yea, a dead woman can hear that....
Most police officers I know and read of exhibit a great amount of restraint in the face of danger before pulling the trigger. It is a last resort. The little reported does not reflect that, but, as stated there are two sides to every story. If Artson admitted she was not pointing the weapon, I'd suspect there'd be an investigation. Either way, awarding a citation for this hardly seems warranted.
