Houston Deputies Shoot Woman Mistaken for Intruder

Eboni Pouncy was shot five times after deputies responded to a neighbor's break-in report; the incident is under investigation.

Body camera footage released shows Harris County sheriff's deputies in Houston shooting Eboni Pouncy, mistaking her for an intruder.
Pouncy was visiting a friend and entered the apartment through a broken window after forgetting the keys, leading to a neighbor's report of a break-in.
Pouncy, holding a legally registered firearm, was shot five times but survived; her attorney Ben Crump calls for accountability and decries excessive force.
Both deputies involved have been placed on administrative leave; the incident is under investigation by local authorities and referred to a grand jury.
The shooting has drawn comparisons to the Breonna Taylor case, with calls for a reevaluation of police response protocols to suspected break-ins.
