A knife-wielding woman attacks people in New York’s Times Square, killing one person and injuring another, before police shoot her dead. Several outlets describe the incident as occurring in a crowded, tourist-heavy area, with a heavy police response forming around the suspect before officers open fire.

Authorities say the woman charges or advances toward people and, in some accounts, toward police officers while armed with one or two knives. Police issue commands for her to drop the weapons, and some reports say officers initially use Tasers, but the suspect does not stop. NYPD officials characterize the attack as random and unprovoked, and multiple outlets report that police do not have evidence of terrorism links at the time.

Coverage also highlights the suspect’s reported mental-health history, including references to prior contacts with NYPD. Outlets vary in details such as how many knives she holds, the number of injured victims reported, and the sequence leading up to the shooting. Names of victims are not consistently provided across the reports.
