Cops Shoot Axe-Wielding Woman
Police said a Taser failed before officers fired, and investigators are reviewing the confrontation that left the woman dead.
- Police shot and killed a woman at a residence in Firle, an inner eastern suburb of Adelaide, early Thursday morning after responding to reports of an armed confrontation.
- Officers arrived at the Gwynne Street property after receiving reports "that a woman was armed with an axe" and were confronted by the woman, who allegedly threatened them upon arrival.
- During the incident, police deployed a Taser, which was ineffective, before they "discharged a firearm, striking the woman." One officer suffered minor injuries during the struggle.
- Although officers attempted first aid, the woman died at the scene after South Australia Ambulance Service paramedics arrived. Police have since closed Gwynne Street to the public.
- Major Crime Investigation Branch detectives, Forensic Response Section officers, and Internal Investigation Section investigators are at the scene to "examine the circumstances surrounding the incident" as an internal investigation begins.
