News 3 has learned the person who has called 911 is Pearlie Golden's nephew. A few days ago,
the Texas Department of Public Safety refused to renew her drivers license. The nephew was
trying to take her keys away. Golden got upset, grabbed her gun and threatened him.
When Officer Stephen Stem arrived, he asked Golden to put down the weapon and then
ultimately fir(ed) his own sidearm, wounding Miss Golden.

Elderly Woman Shot & Killed By Hearne Police Officer
This is the second time Stem has been involved in a deadly shooting
since July 22, 2012 when he was employed.
couldn’t the nephew have walked away for a day......instead of calling 911
Hearne has a population of around 4,500 people. It is about 50% black, 32% Hispanic & 18% white. The population is slowly but steadily declined over the past 20 years. There have been many racial problems in the past.
The local Wal-Mart there closed about 10 years ago due to employee theft.
I need to correct my statement that I live there, I don’t live there, but I live close to there. I had forgotten that it was in Hearne, and not my town/city where this happened; I got in on the tail end of the local news last night (KBTX cited)!
