Tuesday 8:30-11:30 p.m. Updated: Wed 5:55 PM, May 07, 2014 ~ A 93-year-old woman is shot and killed by a police officer at her home in Hearne. Pearlie Golden was pronounced dead Tuesday night at St. Joseph Hospital. The elderly woman was rushed there after being shot by a male officer at her house on Pin Oak Street. Multiple witnesses tell us she was shot at least five times. Hearne police are not ready to say whether Golden was armed or why the officer felt threatened. "All I know is that they were called out here,” said Robertson County District Attorney Coty Siegert. “They were dispatched out here to address the situation. Again, I'm not sure exactly what that situation was, but it was not a random encounter." Residents are questioning why police would shoot Golden who they described as a sweet, sweet woman. “Even if she did have a gun, she is in her 90’s,” said Lawanda Cooke. “They could have shot in the air to scare her. Maybe she would have dropped it. I don’t see her shooting anyone. Siegert says the case will eventually be presented to a Grand Jury, which is standard procedure in officer involved shootings. The Texas Rangers and Robertson County District Attorney’s Office are investigating. The Hearne Police Department says they are working on a news release. We'll bring you that information as soon as it is released.
