At some point after officers made contact with the woman, she was shot. Police say the woman was then taken to a hospital.

No officers were hurt and there is no threat to the community.

What they're saying:

"The factors that led up to it, that's obviously going to be investigated by the department of public safety's major incident division, who responds to all of our critical incidents, so we're still going through that process and when we get an update we will probably provide that with our critical incident briefing video," Sgt. Chris Berrelleza said.
