JOHNS CREEK, Ga. (AP) - A woman accused of trying to stab someone has been shot to death by police responding to the situation.
Capt. Chris Byers of the Johns Creek Police Department says police were responding to a call about the incident and encountered the woman near Northview High School about 7 a.m. Saturday.
Multiple news outlets report an altercation ensued and Byers says the woman, who had a knife, was shot after police tried to de-escalate the situation by using a stun gun and foam impact rounds. Byers says the woman was transported to Emory Johns Creek Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The woman’s name wasn’t immediately released. The officers involved are on administrative leave.
