JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (CBS12) **Warning-story contains graphic video which may be uncomfortable to some viewers.**
The State Attorney for the Fourth Judicial Court in northeast Florida justified the fatal shooting of a woman who stabbed a police officer in Jacksonville.
Authorities released the body camera video of the shooting, which happened April 11 outside a home in the northwestern part of the city. According to local reports, officers with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office responded to a call about a dispute between roommates.
In the video, as a female officer arrives at the door, Leah Baker rushes out with a large knife in her hand and stabs the officer in the arm. "I've just been f-----g stabbed," the officer said over her radio as she backs away. The wounded officer tells Baker to get on the ground and drop the knife before firing two shots. The officer's partner tells the woman to drop the knife.
The woman then runs toward the second officer who then fires several shots, knocking the woman to the ground.
In the video, the woman lays on the ground for awhile but tries to get up. More officers arrive with their guns drawn. A K-9 then latches on to the woman's leg and officers use a taser on her.
Baker later died at the hospital.
This lady could have killed the female cop...
An officer cannot hesitate to shoot in this kind of situation...
It reminds me of the situation in Lancaster, PA... The guy with the knife got shot before he got too close to the officers...
good
dont care what color or gender or age a criminal thug is
Don;t know what “lady” your talking about. That’s a walker with a knife!
The (s)cum bucket woman must have been a zombie. She needed a clear spinal-cord severing to go down.
1. Do not break the law.
2. Do not attack police officers.
3. If apprehended, respectfully comply.
It really is that easy.
Shot, tazed, bit and DOA. Don’t stab police, it won’t end well for you.
Florida Woman
Looks like something out of a Quentin Tarantino movie.
im sorry...women should not be patrol officers....
Couldn’t have had a nicer community service officer counsel her on a better way to deal with her emotions?
I’d say that picture tells the whole story. Another nut bites the dust and just in time.

Looks like she became the drug.
My best friend became a sheriff’s deputy many years ago. Part of their training was how fast someone running at you could get to you with a knife before you could draw your weapon. I think the average limit was about 21 feet,
She’s hot.
I’d hit that.
Well. The dead woman is white. There will be no riots.
It’s called the “Tueller Drill”

Bigger issue: somebody on drugs can be shot multiple times and still keep coming at you.
You’d better wear chain mail . . .
