Around 8 p.m., a woman was attempting to get inside the Spokane County Jail. She managed to get past the closed off area, and was banging on the glass when a corrections sergeant at the jail responded. The woman was able to get past the lobby door, at which point she displayed a knife and "moved aggressively" toward the officer. Justin White reportedly ordered her to put the weapon down before he shot and killed her.
