Redlands police shoot, wound woman allegedly armed with knife
A Redlands woman allegedly armed with a knife was shot and wounded by Redlands Police Department officers Thursday night.
Officers arrived to the 1000 block of Oxford Drive at about 9:30 p.m. after a reported domestic disturbance, and the 30-year-old woman, whose identity was not released, confronted police with a knife and “refused to comply with officers’ demands,” police said in a news release.
At least one officer opened fire, striking the woman at least once.
She was taken to a local hospital and is expected to recover, police said.
“In keeping with Redlands Police Department policy, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s detectives are investigating the officer-involved shooting and two officers were placed on administrative leave,” the release added.
When asked if the woman will face any charges, a police spokesperson said “the incident is under investigation by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. I have no further information.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 909-798-7681 ext. 1.
