This happened today (3/3/2014) in this neighborhood near mine.


NEWPORT NEWS -- Police are investigating an officer-involved shooting in the 900 block of Hollymeade Circle in Newport News.
According to Newport News Police spokeswoman Holly McPherson, officers responded to a call for a disorderly subject around 4:30 p.m.
The caller advised that the female was in a truck and was known to carry a firearm. When officers approached the suspect vehicle, the 29-year-old woman displayed a handgun.


There are obviously more yet undisclosed details. The usual criminal and internal investigations are to follow, and the involved officers are on admin leave.

A word of caution may be that not everyone is comfortable with others carrying guns. No notion of how she was disorderly.
