The police shooting of a woman in Texas this past weekend is “reminiscent” of the shooting of Breonna Taylor, civil rights attorney Ben Crump said in announcing he is representing the victim of law enforcement violence.

Deputies from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office shot Eboni Pouncy early Saturday morning while she was inside her friend’s home – this much everybody can agree on. But the police narrative surrounding the shooting differs wildly from how Crump described the series of events that led to Pouncy being shot.

Crump said in a press release emailed to NewsOne that Pouncy and her friend were locked out of her friend’s home in an apartment complex. The two women then broke a window to the apartment to gain entry, according to Crump’s press release.

When the Harris County Sheriff’s pounded on the Pouncy’s friend’s door, “Pouncy retrieved her legally-registered firearm” out of fear of a possible intruder, the press release said. “Shortly after, officers opened fire and struck Pouncy with five bullets.”

According to a press release disseminated by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, though, they were contacted by a neighbor who reported a possible break-in within the same apartment complex. When deputies responded to the location and determined there was no burglary, a different neighbor “flagged the deputies down and reported that someone had broken into another nearby apartment,” the police press release says.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said deputies “knocked” on the front door of Pouncy’s friend’s apartment after noticing a broken window.

“Deputies could see into the apartment through the broken window. One deputy saw a female approaching the door holding a firearm,” the Harris County Sheriff’s Office press release said. “Two deputies discharged their duty weapons, striking the adult female. The deputies immediately rendered life-saving efforts requesting emergency medical services.”
