Austin police say they were called to the apartment complex for a husband who called stating his wife had a weapon. When the officers arrived, a white woman came out of the breezeway. The woman had a weapon in her hands and “extended the weapon towards the officers and said "shoot me, shoot me, kill me.'" Police told her to drop the weapon, but she proceeded to move towards the officers, and they shot her. As she was lying on the ground, police say she was still moving after being shot so they shot her some more.
