LAWTON Okla_ The woman shot
to death last week in Lawton
was not killed by the officer's gun, after all.
The medical
examiner's office confirms Lauren Haskins shot herself. The report states she
died of gunshot wound to the head, but the M.E. also says the officer did shoot
Haskins. That bullet was in the torso and was not the fatal shot.
7News reported
Monday that Haskins' husband said his wife was a former soldier who suffered
from post-traumatic stress disorder.
He said the
disease got the best of her last Thursday, when she threatened suicide. Police
did try to stop her from taking her own life. First, they used a non-lethal
weapon to try to deter her, but fired a real round at her, striking her torso.
The medical
examiner's report suggests she then shot herself in the head.
