NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A call for help ended in a deadly police-involved shooting in Queens Monday evening, when investigators say a woman lunged at officers with a knife.
Police say just before 5:30 p.m., a woman called 911 to say there was a female intruder on the second floor of a home on 69th Street in Maspeth armed with either a razor or knife. They say the same woman who reported the burglar met the officers outside and eventually followed them up the stairs of the home.That’s when an already tense situation took an unexpected turn.
“The 54-year-old woman came at the officers with a knife and lunged at them,” Chief Dermot F. Shea said. “One of the officers gave directions to put the knife down. We know this because there is body camera video. Subsequently, one officer discharges his service weapon three times striking the woman in the torso.” Source
