JERSEY CITY, N.J.(AP) - July 22, 2009
Jersey City spokesman Stan Eason says two officers were
responding to reports of a domestic dispute Tuesday night when the
woman attacked them with a kitchen knife. Eason says the officers
told her several times to drop the knife and that she refused and
came at them. He says one officer shot her and she later died from
her injuries.
The woman was not identified.
Eason says the officers were treated for non-life-threatening
injuries at Jersey City Medical Center.
The shooting came on the same day that Marc DiNardo, a 10-year
Jersey City police veteran, died after he was taken off life
support. DiNardo was critically injured during a shootout last
week.
