A woman armed with a kitchen knife was fatally shot by police officers Tuesday after slashing a 3-year-old boy in a shopping cart outside a Walmart store in Nebraska, authorities said.
The woman, identified by police as Noemi Guzman, 31, was shot after refusing to drop the knife and then cutting the boy, according to an Omaha Police Department press release.
The boy was reunited with his guardian and taken to the hospital for injuries that were not considered life-threatening, police said.
About Trending
When an event occurs which is deemed by the network to warrant breaking news coverage, they will interrupt other non-news programs, or in the case of a national newscast, break in at the same time as all affiliates. This is known as a “Newsflash” or a “Special Report”, and may be accompanied by a countdown sequence to allow station affiliates to switch over to the network feed. Prior to the advent of 24-hour news networks, this type of interruption was generally reserved for events which required immediate national coverage, such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
