The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an incident in Rancho Cordova, in which officers fired at a woman, who was suspected of trying to break into a home with a butcher knife. The woman, who was spotted by officers roughly a mile away from the attempted break-in, was fired upon by two officers, but it is unclear if she was hit. After a short chase, the woman surrendered, but it is uncertain if her injury was caused by gunfire, shrapnel, or her own knife. The woman is expected to survive her injury and will be booked into the Sacramento County jail once medically cleared.
The woman is believed to have been a neighbor living in the same neighborhood as the attempted break-in, and it is unclear what led to the shooting. No officers were injured, but both officers involved in the shooting will be placed on administrative leave, as per standard protocol. The incident resulted in the closure of eastbound traffic on Folsom Boulevard near Mather Field Road for an investigation, though the road has since been reopened. Details may change as more information becomes available about the incident.
