Florida police officers shot and killed a Muslim woman who charged at one of them with a giant butcher knife outside City Hall on Friday.
“Had no alternative but to shoot,” said Temple Terrace police Chief Kenneth Albano at a news conference held after the incident occurred.
The woman has been identified as 21-year-old Heba Momtaz Alazhari.
She is the sister of Muhammed Momtaz Al-Azhari, a 23-year-old Tampa man who was recently arrested by the FBI on a federal charge of attempting to provide material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, the Islamic State group.
The incident took place at about 1 p.m. The woman arrived at City Hall and asked for an officer’s help, officials said. Then when a uniformed officer went outside, the chief said she charged at him with a knife for “unknown reasons.”
She was quickly shot by officers, officials said. The chief did not say how many officers were involved, how many fired their weapons or how many times the woman was shot. The officer who was attacked did fire his weapon, Albano said.
A security camera outside City Hall captured the first 30 seconds of the confrontation. There is no sound, but Albano said he heard the officer shouting at the woman to “drop the knife, drop the knife” several times before she was shot.

This was obviously a terror attack by a lone wolf.
Yes, because the fake news media is working overtime to demonize police, you’ll never hear this story on the mainstream news. It doesn’t fit their narrative dor so many reasons.
