Disturbing bodycam video captured the moment a towering 6-foot-tall woman was fatally shot by a veteran Virginia cop just seconds after she charged at him with a knife and repeatedly slashed him.
Sydney Wilson, 33, was fatally shot by Fairfax County officer Peter Liu in the hall of her apartment building in Reston, just outside Washington D.C., on Sept. 16 after cops were called to carry out a welfare check on her, police said.
The graphic footage, released by police on Monday, showed an “agitated” Wilson opening and then abruptly slamming her door in the officer’s face after he knocked just after 10 a.m.
After nearly three minutes of trying to convince her to re-open the door, Wilson suddenly emerged in a bathrobe, calmly asked “How are you?” — and then immediately brandished the kitchen knife, the video shows.
“Oh Jesus Christ!” the officer gasps, backing away.
Wilson was caught on camera swiping at the officer — knifing him in the face, police said.
The cop, a 14-year-old department veteran trained in crisis intervention, quickly pulled his firearm and backed up down a dead-end hallway, according to the bodycam clip.
A crazed Wilson was filmed coming towards the officer with the blade held above her head as the officer repeatedly shouted for her to “back up.”

No reporting of the height of the officers, though.
>>>The cop, a 14-year-old department veteran .......
They are hiring them younger every year..................
Can’t believe she was able to continue the knife attack after having been shot at least twice.
When the cops start looking like kids to you, you know you are old....................
Looks like a tranny.
"...officer Peter Liu............I can guess............
SOOOO glad the officer had a boby cam of that!!! I can already see the lawsuits if he hadn’t!!
why did they have to shoot her multiple times etc!!!
This is the crap police have to deal with all the time, and I am glad it is now all being caught on tape so everyone can see how bat shit crazy people police kill are!
Have the riots started yet?
A killer clown tranny...
More than justified shooting.
BLM tried to call this a “murder”.
Body cam footage proves the left will lie about anything and have no regard for police officers.
Very common. It may be better to aim for the pelvic girdle in a knife attack. Break the support struckture and the attacker falls down and cannot walk.
Much harder for them to attack you that way.
Reminds me incident in Newark NJ circa 1975. Copper doing traffic detail at major cross roads when junior citizen decides to hit him in the back with a hatchet. As copper going down, put 6 into the culprit. Result, copper goes to hospital for superficial back wound due to armor he had on. Culprit heads off to coroner. Yup the usual, “why he have to shoot him 6 times”. Answer should have been “because that is all a six shooter has”.
Anyone should fire on that.
Clearly someone who failed their anger management class.
Depending on shot placement, you can soak up a lot of lead.
In a surprise attack like that, backing up, trying to deescalate...
Just get your shots on center mass and hope for the best.
Tueller drill’s are a very real thing.
Are we sure this was a “woman”?
Cops should have gone away after they ascertained she was alive. They had to press the issue now she’s dead. No need for any further “welfare checks”.
She was just having a bad day...
