The police officer who shot and killed her neighbor, Amber Guyger was summoned to Dallas Police Department headquarters Monday and fired.

Dallas Police Chief U. Renee Hall terminated Guyger, who was arrested for manslaughter in the shooting death of Botham Jean, 26. Guyger’s blood was drawn at the scene to be tested for alcohol and drugs, Hall said, but authorities have not released results.

On the day after the shooting, Chief Hall said her department was seeking manslaughter charges against Guyger, a four-year veteran of the police force.
