    Actually, it was last evening; and SAPD Chief McManus made a public statement about it but didn't share much more than what the press has reported. A call of a distraught 23-yr-old woman with a gun at the Huebner Commons Shopping Center (Vance Jackson and Huebner) was made to 911, and a SAPD sergeant (23 year SAPD veteran) approached her and she made a movement for the weapon which caused the officer to shoot her multiple times.

    Being an active investigation, they're not going to tell much more than that...

    Of course, McManus said the weapon she had was an Uzi "machine gun!" :banghead:

    Unfortunately, the woman has succumbed to her injuries.

    Suicide By Cop.

    I don't think it was that thought out or premeditated

    My uninformed guess would be she was already pissed off about something, went to the strip mall armed for some reason and during her ranting and raving there, a cop showed up.

    She then made the biggest mistake of her life, reaching for the weapon. I honestly doubt she knew or even thought out what the consequences of doing that would be...

    Westall, who attended Marshall High School, had a lengthy record including over half a dozen arrests and convictions for possession, assault, theft and criminal trespass. She was facing an April 4 court date for one of two 2018 drug possession charges.

    One of Westall's Facebook friends told us she "hung out with the wrong people."

    Possible explanations.
