Aaron Dean: Atatiana Jefferson and Front Door

aaron dean: Earlier in the day he resigned from the force, and the police chief said he would have been fired if he hadn't, according to CTV. Police bodycam video showed Dean approaching the door of the home where Atatiana Jefferson, 28, was caring for her 8-year-old nephew early Saturday. Aaron Dean, 34, was jailed Monday night on 200,000 bond after being charged with murder in a shooting that began with a call about an open front door. He then walked around the side of the house, pushed through a gate into the fenced-off backyard and fired through the glass a split-second after shouting at Jefferson to show her hands. Nobody looked at this video and said that there's any doubt that this officer acted inappropriately, Kraus said. Dean was not heard identifying himself as police on the video, and Interim Police Chief Ed Kraus said there was no sign Dean or the other officer who responded even knocked on the front door.
