This is the shocking moment a cop tried to shoot a family's dog and accidentally killed a mother-of-three in front of her young son.
Burlington Police Officer Jesse Hill was responding to a domestic dispute on January 6, 2015, when he said he slipped and shot dead Autumn Steele, while aiming for her pet.
Body cam footage shows the cop arriving at the Burlington home, in Iowa, where Steele, 34, was in a heated row with her husband Gabriel.

Steele had only just been released from Des Moines County jail where she had spent the night after being charged with domestic assault on her husband the day before, according to the Free Thought Project.
When the officer arrived at the 100 block of South Garfield Avenue, Gabriel was walking away from the house with the couple's toddler, then aged 3, in his arms
Steele was chasing after him, grabbing at him and hitting the back of his head, according to Hill's report.
'He's got my kid', she yelled as the cop got out of his squad car and turned on his body cam.
The frantic 12-second clip shows Steele running after Gabrielle while a dog is heard growling in the background.
Hill orders her to 'Get your dog!' before letting off two shots as the camera angle suddenly skywards as he slips.
