Bodycam: Colorado Cop Shoots Woman Who Allegedly Pulled Gun in Traffic Stop

Bodycam footage from July 25th in Westminster, Colorado captured the tense moments leading up to a police officer fatally shooting 46-year-old Alysha Duran during a traffic stop. According to the Westminster Police Department, the officer approached Duran's vehicle, which was stopped facing oncoming traffic, but Duran refused to answer any of the officer's questions. Tensions escalated when the officer noticed Duran allegedly pulling a gun from her center console. The footage shows the panicked officer yelling "What have you got in there?" before quickly retreating behind Duran's vehicle and firing a single fatal shot through her rear driver's side window.

The shooting has sparked debate, with some claiming the officer acted too hastily without giving Duran a chance to explain herself, while others argue the officer followed proper procedure when faced with an apparent threat. The bullet passed through Duran and struck an uninvolved bystander's vehicle windshield, though no other injuries were reported. The veteran officer involved has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation into the incident. The Law&Crime Network's Sierra Gillespie provides an in-depth breakdown analyzing the bodycam footage and discussing the controversial shooting.
