Authorities say a woman was shot after initiating an unprovoked attack on a Temple Terrace police officer.

According to Temple Terrace police, the shooting happened at Temple Terrace City Hall and for unknown reasons, after requesting help from an officer, 21-year-old Heba Momtaz Alazhari attacked the officer with a large butcher knife.

The officer shot Alazhari and was taken to a local hospital, where she later died from her injuries, deputies say. The officer received non-life-threatening injuries from the attack.

The Temple Terrace Police Department is currently working with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Hillsborough County Sherriff’s Office to investigate the incident.

The video is pretty disturbing.

Apparently the woman is the sister of a terrorist suspect who reportedly was arrested for plotting a mass shooting similar to the Pulse nightclub massacre in Orlando.
