An Oregon woman shot to death during a traffic stop last week pulled a gun on the officer who fired the fatal rounds, authorities said.

Jacklynn Rashaun Ford pointed a loaded pistol at officer Trevor Morrison and then repeatedly tried to cock it before Morrison opened fire during the May 9 stop in Salem, a city about an hour south of Portland, the Marion County District Attorney's Office told local KOIN 6.

Morrison's police dog then dragged the mortally 25-year-old away from the gun, the DA said.
Ford, who was hit in the head and the chest, died later at a local hospital.

The district attorney's office said Ford was wanted on two felony warrants for burglary and meth possession.

That may explain why she booked it from her minivan shortly after Morrison pulled her over on Watson Ave. at around 10 p.m.

Authorities said the incident began when Morrison pulled Ford over for not using her turn signal, the station reported.

Ford didn't have a driver's license and gave Morrison a fake name, authorities said.

When he walked back his patrol car to confirm her identity, Ford took off, authorities said.
Ford, 25, didn't have a license and gave the officer a fake name before fleeing the minivan, authorities said.

Morrison ordered her to stop, but she ignored him.

He then released his police dog, Baco, who caught up to her in Eastgate Basin Park, authorities said.

The 12-year veteran cop shouted commands at Ford, but she was slow to comply, prosecutors said.

She then pulled out a gun and pointed it at Morrison, prompting him to open fire.
Medics arrived at the scene and performed first aid. Ford was pronounced dead later at Salem Memorial Hospital.

The Salem Police Department said they were still investigating the shooting, and a toxicology report was pending.
