(Bay News 9) A deadly officer-involved shooting is under investigation in Temple Terrace.
Two Temple Terrace Police officers were involved in the confrontation outside City Hall Friday and are now under investigation.
One of the officers was the target of a knife-wielding woman, while the other came to his aid. The confrontation was caught on surveillance video.
In the video, the officer can be seen approaching the woman, who was seated on a bench. She then draws the large knife and lunges at the officer, swinging the knife at him as he backs away.
The confrontation then moves out of view of the camera. That’s when the officer shot the woman, later identified as 22-year-old Heba Momtaz Al-Azhari.
