Female terrorist shot dead after stabbing attempt
2019-09-18
[Jpost] A female terrorist was shot dead on Wednesday after she attempted to stab a police officer at the Qalandiya crossing near Jerusalem.
No attacks yesterday. The crossings were closed - do you suppose there's a connection?
Update from The Times of Israel at 8:40 a.m. EDT:
The woman, reportedly in her 50s, entered a car lane on foot, which aroused the suspicion of the guards at the Jerusalem-area checkpoint.

“Security personnel who saw that she was approaching them performed the proper arrest procedures and called for her to stop. She did not respond to their calls and took out a knife. As a result of this, a shot was fired at her leg and she was injured,” police said in a statement.

The woman was taken to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus for treatment, where she was pronounced dead, the medical center said.
The article goes on to speculate possible suicide by soldier.

#3  Maybe he was aiming for the femoral artery. In any case good outcome.

#2  "Don't get fancy and try for a leg shot, that works in movies, but in real life that's a hard target to hit under pressure, and if you miss you don't know where the round might ricochet to. If you hit you might hit the big artery in the leg they will bleed out before you can do anything; Do the two to the center of mass and if they are still standing one to the head...The transit cop stop to the pubic arch is also acceptable though the screaming of the perp gets on my nerves."
