Protesters stormed a meeting at Dallas City Hall on Wednesday, September 12, to demonstrate over the fatal shooting of Botham Jean in his own home by a police officer.

Mayor Mike Rawlings called a recess after the activists began chanting, Dallas News reported. Councillors then allowed the protesters to speak after a short break, the report said.

Campaigners were calling for justice after off duty police officer Amber Guyger fatally shot the 26-year-old black man after mistakenly entering his apartment on September 6. Guyger told officers she believed Jean was a intruder into her own apartment which was located in the same building. Officers charged Guyger with manslaughter on September 9, according to the AP.
