Breaking: Fort Worth cop who shot and killed Atatiana Jefferson in her own home resigned this morning, police chief says.
Police officer who killed Atatiana Jefferson is identified as Aaron Dean.
Police chief says that the officer who killed Atatiana Jefferson is "not being cooperative" with the interviewing process of the investigation and that he resigned before he had the opportunity to be interviewed by the police department.
Chief does not discuss possible criminal charges against the officer, said he will give an update on the criminal investigation against the officer tomorrow.
Atatiana Jefferson's family demanded that the Fort Worth PD recuse themselves from investigating the shooting and leave it to a third party.

However, police chief says his department is continuing with both the criminal and the internal affairs investigations.
Fort Worth police chief said he has asked the FBI to review the case and look into possible civil rights violations.
Police chief apologizes for the department releasing a photo of Atatiana Jefferson's gun that was near the window through which the officer shot her.

Says police usually do it to show what might be a perceived threat, but "in hindsight, it was a bad thing to do."
