executive director Michael Ewenson, adding the officers were “lawfully placed and acting properly in the execution of their duties.” In March 2021, two officers responded to an emergency call from a woman who was threatening to kill herself, saying she had a gun. The woman stepped out of a hotel room empty-handed to look at the officers who were standing in a stairwell below. She then went back inside.The report said the woman reappeared with a replica BB handgun a few moments later, pointing it at the officers.A click that sounded like a misfire was then heard.
“A total of 13 rounds were fired between the two officers,” the report said. The woman died in the hotel room. An autopsy determined five of the bullets hit her.The report said the medical examiner found the woman “exhibited suicidal intent” in her initial call to 911 and was later behaving in a way “that suggests she had a desire for officers to end her life.”
