The NYPD fatally shot a woman after she allegedly went on a violent rampage in Times Square, stabbing two individuals before threatening officers with a knife.
Authorities reported that the incident escalated quickly when the 49-year-old woman allegedly stabbed a man and a woman within a mere 30 seconds. NYPD officers arrived promptly at the scene, confronting the woman who was still armed with a knife.
Footage captured the intense standoff as officers repeatedly instructed the woman to drop her weapon. Instead, she reportedly threatened to kill the officers while advancing toward them with the knife, which led to the police opening fire.
The woman was declared dead at the scene.
As reported by the New York Post, one of the stabbing victims succumbed to their injuries, while the condition of the second victim remains undisclosed.
The NYPD is conducting a thorough investigation into the officer-involved shooting, which is standard protocol in such cases.
