Police responded to the call at 10 a.m. Sunday in the 700 block of East Mitchell Street after a man called 911 from a local church and said his wife was suicidal and possibly had a handgun, Arlington police spokesman Chris Cook wrote in a news release.Twenty to 30 minutes later, she got in her vehicle in a garage in back and was driving out toward the front of the house when officers tried to make contact with her. “Two officers discharged their duty handguns at the woman while she was still inside the vehicle pointing the gun toward them,” Cook wrote.
