Sheriff's deputies who shot a distraught woman to death in Pacific Clinics Rosemead early January apparently hit her with a Taser moments before the shooting according to officials. However, the taser may not have penetrated her skin, according to officials. Officials said the dead woman, identified as Jazmyne Ha Eng, 40 of Rosemead, was wielding a hammer and screaming in the lobby of Asian Pacific Family Center on Jan. 4, when she was fatally struck by gunfire. However there are now conflicting reports saying the woman was sitting calmly when the first 911 call went out.
