A woman was fatally shot by police after charging an officer with a butcher knife just days after her brother was charged with attempting to help the Islamic State.
Temple Terrace Police were called to talk to a woman, identified as Heba Momtaz Al-Azhari, on Friday. She did not show any signs of distress while talking to the officer but later began brandishing a knife and tried to attack him with it, according to police. The officer then fatally shot the woman, who later died at a hospital.
Part of the incident was caught on a surveillance camera and comes as the country faces mass protests over the death of George Floyd.
"We want it to be clear that this was an unprovoked, very unfortunate situation, but that the officer really had no other choice, when the knife wasn't dropped and the assault continued, but to defend themselves," Police Chief Kenneth Albano said.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the situation.
Heba Momtaz Al-Azhari has been identified as the sister of Muhammed Momtaz Al-Azhari, 23, who was arrested on May 24 by FBI agents. Muhammed Momtaz Al-Azhari was charged “with attempting to provide material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, namely, the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS),” according to the Department of Justice.
"He also expressed admiration for Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen and spoke of his desire to carry out a similar mass casualty shooting," the DOJ statement reads. "Additionally, Al-Azhari researched and scouted potential targets in the Tampa area, including Honeymoon Island. He also rehearsed portions of an attack and the statements that he would make during or in connection with such an attack."
Glad to know those defective genes will not be passed on.
Nice to here some good news for a change
This occurrence is by leftist design, folks. Leftist democrats shipped in millions of criminal muslims they knew would attack and murder white Americans. Democrats know muslims will murder the enemies of leftist democrats.

The women hubris in this religion is the worst
I guess this took place in the Tampa Florida area.
Good News!
Wel, buh bye. I guess she’ll get 72 demons, never ending, in her ‘great (grate?) beyond. I guess it isn’t all bad for her, at least she’ll be with her ‘allah’, satan for eternity.
Oh did the middle moderate Muslims go and out themselves?r
When ate we going to show them the way out of here?
Islamophobia is not a phobia if they really are trying to kill you.
Let’s put it this way, if you’re driving down the street through Tampa and you pass into Temple Terrace you won’t notice.
There is a large Islamic presence in Temple Terrace.
According to Islam, Allah lives in Hell stoking the fires with the infidel. Also according to Islam women have no place in paradise. As a woman and a failed Jihadi she is twice damned. So her place will be to fry alongside Allah.
Boy Temple Terrace has changed. My cousin and her husband used to live out there when it was semi rural redneck country.
There was a police office stabbed in Jacksonville fl last night by one of the rioters. Cop in ICU. No info on the assailant but IMO future updates should be coming from the medical examiner assuming they were even caught.
Good.
(What happens now? She winds up on some jihadi's string of 72 "raisins"?

Cope was lucky, she came charging him unexpectedly with that knife and took a big stab at him and fortunately he was able to dodge to the side or he’d have been stuck in the gut. There was no option but to put this crazy murderous member of the Religion of Peace down.
I prefer the Israeli method of control with Jihadists
If an individual commits a felony assault on an Israeli soldier or civilian
the entire immediate family pays a price by banishment,
confiscation of all personal finances and property, and bulldozing the residence.
This eliminates violence continuing along through the family line, and encourages parental vigilance;
the entire family prosperity is at risk and the entire family knows that risk in advance.
