San Antonio Police Officers Charged with Murder in Fatal Shooting of Schizophrenic Woman.

Melissa Perez, a mother of four and grandmother, who was struggling with schizophrenia, was shot and killed by three San Antonio police officers. The officers have been charged with murder, and a civil rights lawsuit will be filed soon. Perez's family tried to keep her on a steady path that involved counseling, medication, and prayers. The shooting indicates the San Antonio Police Department has lagged in rethinking its approach to mental health crises, as other police agencies around the country have done in recent years.
