Vancouver police shoot alleged knife-wielding woman - British Columbia - CBC News


on Lakewood few blocks away from Templeton

I know the article says Knife but on tv just now its changed to scissors and they showed a pair on the ground

This woman is a friend of mine, I've talked to her since. She came out yelling with a knife and was apparently shot with both legs. She is a good hearted and intellignent young woman but I learned that she was possibly off her prescription drugs, and judging from her tendency to constantly need attention, I'm not surprised this happened in a way.

But I still don't get why cops can't use rubber bullets, mace, tasers etc ANYTHING but real bullets? She can't work now as she is recovering from bullet wounds.
