Interesting, a dental hygienist (if report is correct).
I would think most dental hygienists look pretty non-threatening ... as opposed to dentists, who scare the heck out of me.
Not second-guessing the police who shot her; but still, if this incident had happened in, say, NYC, I think our lawmakers would not be applauding the police (as they did on Capitol Hill), but condemning them for overkill.
And hey, didn't ex-Congressman Patrick Kennedy "ram a barrier" on Capitol Hill, just a few years ago? But no Capitol police shot at him.
As I recall, Kennedy blamed the sleep medication Ambien for causing the incident. Of course, nothing happened to him.
