Sounds like the cops did what they had to..

I mean, hey.. She was going to hurt someone, what are they supposed to do?

"I mean, hey.. She was going to hurt someone, what are they supposed to do?"

Let her finish what she was doing?....then shoot?

Is this a quiz?

If all the officer has is a gun, then yes he should shoot to prevent a maniac from killing someone. This is a situation where it is sad that there was no immediate nonlethal alternative at hand, such as tazer.
