A woman handing out pizza samples at a Virginia Costco was shot and killed by sheriff's deputies Wednesday afternoon after she began acting strangely and came at the officers with a weapon, authorities said.
A sheriff's deputy also was wounded in the leg, possibly by a ricochet. He is expected to recover.
The melee began at about 3 p.m., when store employees noticed the woman acting oddly at the Costco in Sterling, Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman said. Witnesses said she seemed upset about the pizza she was handing out.

“Unfortunately that is simply wishful thinking. And it is wrong.
No, it is not wrong to wish that multiple deputies could subdue a mentally disturbed woman with a knife rather than shoot her dead.
Nobody will question whether there could have been some other way. However, I don’t think it is unreasonable to do so.
Do those things have “bullet buttons?”
I see that it has an assault hand grip.
Costco doesn’t allow knives at their demonstration tables.
TRy harder.

B I N G O !
Battery must have been dead in the Taser.
It seems the police are a danger to themselves.
When you shoot you should know what is in the background. Especially if it’s another LEO.
Has anyone heard about a video of the incident? It had to have been captured on tape.

Poor old gentleman. God bless him.
You know, I’m beginning to believe that if obama declared martial law the police in this country would have no problem killing American citizens.
Sadly, my local Costco is in the news. First I’ve read about this. I’ll have to check to see if anyone I know, knows something.
Did the pizza have anchovies?
5 shots and the morons shot each other...It’s a pity they didn’t miss her altogether and taken each other out...
Especially if it’s another LEO.

Yup, shoot the crowd, but careful, don’t hit the cop. 10-4.
That black handle is really scary looking.
They used a stun gun but it didn't work. Try reading the story.
Some people don’t understand you need to stay a force level above your adversary. She’s coming at you presumably to kill you... The next level is to kill or be killed.
I want one of those!
