Fair enough. I did not see a second report, only read the primary link + video. I gleaned from her family member that she "was scared they'd take her children away" that she may have become defensive thinking they wanted to take her kids. Which would be a poor choice on her part. However, I would still disagree that firing at her is necessary unless she actually rushed them. Unless they legitimately thought she might stabbed her own children. One of the biggest faults in policing is their own refusal to simply disengage and let that person cool off. They literally never do this unless they think the person will either harm themselves or have a hostage they might harm.
