Law enforcement action - Cologne: Female with a knife shots down by law enforcement officers
A woman was hurt in Cologne on Friday when police used their firearms. She was apparently carrying a knife in a public area but didn't directly threaten anyone, according to a police spokesperson. Witnesses notified authorities, who then confronted her and felt threatened by her. This led the police to use their weapons.
Initial reports indicate she was hit by a single bullet. Emergency responders quickly took her to the hospital for treatment. The area around the incident, a calm street in the Deutz district, had been sealed off for further investigation. A neutral Bonn police panel will look into what happened.
