Police responded to a disturbance call at a Wal-Mart where a developmentally disabled woman (shopping with chaperones) had allegedly "armed herself with a hatchet in the sporting goods department" and refused police commands to drop the weapon. Instead, she allegedly lunged toward an officer and was shot twice, dying later at nearby hospital.
