CULPEPER, VA. — Police Officer Daniel Harmon-Wright fired seven shots at an unarmed woman in a school parking lot last year, killing her. During opening arguments at his trial Wednesday, a prosecutor called the act murder, while a defense attorney for Harmon-Wright said the officer perceived the woman to be a threat.
Responding to a suspicious-person call on Feb. 9, Harmon-Wright approached Cook’s Jeep Wrangler in the Epiphany Catholic School parking lot. The uniformed officer asked to see Cook’s identification, and she showed her driver’s license to him behind a partially rolled-down window.
