Family of slain 93 yr-old Hearne resident Pearlie Golden said woman fired gun 2X before being shot

The family of Pearlie Golden is saying she fired two shots into the ground before being gunned down by a Hearne police officer, who was called after an argument over the loss of the 93-year-old's driver's license.

Roy Jones, Golden's great-nephew, was the one who called 911 after Golden brandished a gun. His sister, Theresa Jones, who lives in Bryan and was not present at Tuesday's shooting, said her older brother was shaken up by the experience and was not available for comment on Friday. She described Jones as Golden's "right-hand man," saying he had long helped care for their aunt.

Roy Jones told his sister that he had taken their elderly aunt to the Department of Motor Vehicles on Monday to renew her driver's license, but the renewal was rejected. Theresa Jones said the family knew Golden was getting too old to be driving, but their aunt took the news hard since she lived alone and valued her independence.

"He would drive her if she needed to go to Bryan, but she drove herself around Hearne," Theresa Jones said.

but it still seems to me that the police could have used a taser on her instead of killing her.
