   MESA, AZ - A Texas woman is demanding answers after her husband   
   was shot and killed by Mesa police  last week.   
      
   "He's really funny, he's really laid back," said Laney Sweet.   
      
   Sweet talks about her husband as if he is still alive. "He’s   
   always the person to try and diffuse a situation, keep the   
   peace," she said.   
      
   She says her husband, Daniel Shaver, was staying at the La   
   Quinta Inn in Mesa for work when police came knocking on his   
   door, changing her life forever.   
      
   "That’s what I keep saying, 'this is not my life, and this is   
   not my life.' I'm 24, my husband’s gone, I’ve got two kids,"   
   Sweet said.   
      
   Mesa police say they were called to the hotel after people in   
   the pool reported seeing a man on the fifth floor, pointing a   
   rifle out of the window.   
      
   "They're just really long guns," Sweet said.   
      
   Sweet says Shaver had pellet rifles with him for his pest   
   control job.   
      
   But police say when they went to Shaver's hotel room to   
   investigate, he came out, refusing to show his hands. Police say   
   one of the officers felt threatened and shot Shaver.   
      
   Shaver turned out to be unarmed. The pellet rifles were found in   
   the room.   
      
   "I just feel like there's no reason that could be justified for   
   shooting him multiple times, and him dying in a hallway unarmed.   
   I want answers to all of that," Sweet said.   
      
   Mesa police are investigating the incident. There is body camera   
   video of the incident. The entire investigation will be handed   
   over to the County Attorney's office for review.   
      
   Meanwhile, the officer involved has been administratively   
   reassigned, which is department protocol.   
      
   Mesa police say the body camera video will be released once the   
   investigation is complete.
