Woman shot by officer in stable condition

Lanier said investigators don’t know what prompted the woman to attack officers and there are no specific rules about how an officer is to respond to such an instance. Calls came into 911 for both a house fire and a report of a woman with a knife.

Nettles has also been charged with assault on a police officer and assault with a deadly weapon.
