\nA woman suffering a mental health crisis was fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police after charging at officers with a \u201csharp object.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to LMPD Deputy Chief Emily McKinley, officers responded to a call at around 7:45 p.m. of a person experiencing a mental health crisis in the 9800 block of Vieux Carre Drive on Friday, March 27.<\/p>\n
At the scene, officers learned that a 28-year-old woman had self-inflicted lacerations and was armed with what was described as a piece of glass or \u201clarge, sharp object.\u201d<\/p>\n
Due to the woman having a weapon and other people being present, Louisville Metro Police deemed the situation \u201cdid not meet the criteria for deflection or a mobile crisis response.\u201d<\/p>\n
McKinley said the woman locked herself in a bathroom as officers attempted to de-escalate the situation, but she continued to make agitated statements.<\/p>\n
After arriving at the scene, responders from Anchorage Middletown Fire breached the door.<\/p>\n
The woman then exited the bathroom and charged at police, prompting two officers to fire their weapons, hitting the woman.<\/p>\n
The woman was taken to the hospital, where she was eventually pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, family members identified the woman as Katelyn Hall.<\/p>\n
In accordance with Louisville Metro Police Department policy, both officers involved have been put on administrative leave, and their identities will be released within 72 hours.<\/p>\n
Body camera footage of the incident will be released within the next 10 business days.<\/p>\n
LMPD\u2019s Public Integrity Unit is leading the investigation.
