Armed Citizen® Today

A knife-wielding woman in Bullhead City, Ariz., was shot multiple times after threatening the residents of an area home, according to local police.

An investigation revealed that the 49-year-old woman had gone to the home to confront the residents about what were called "ongoing issues." At the scene, she threatened multiple people and allegedly pushed one woman against a wall and held a knife to her throat. A male resident at the scene who was armed with a gun demanded that the woman leave. At this request, the threatening assailant charged the man with her knife. The man fired, striking the woman multiple times.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The residents of the home cooperated with responding officers and no arrests were made. (8 News Now; Las Vegas, Nev.; 8/9/24)
