Description
The daughter of a 61-year-old woman shot and killed by Tacoma Police earlier this month is wondering why more wasn’t done to save her mother.
Lynne Butler, 61, was shot and killed by Tacoma police officers after an hours-long standoff on Jan. 9.
Ten days later, her daughter, Marjhawon Douglas, is still trying to make sense of the colossal loss.
“She was a mother," Douglas said. "She was a grandmother. She was a loving, giving, fun person, and she deserves to be here."
Tacoma police officers were called to Butler’s home at 9:21 a.m. after hearing the 61-year-old allegedly pointed a gun at her neighbors and fired several shots at them.
