CONVERSE, Texas — Converse authorities say one woman is dead after a Tuesday afternoon shooting that involved four officers.
The officers were responding to an apparent suicide attempt, according to Police Chief Bobby Lane, who said law enforcement tried to communicate with the woman over the course of about 40 minutes. Lane said the woman fired shots inside her residence before police arrived.
At some point, the woman pointed her gun at officers who were trying to approach her, Lane said, at which point they fired, killing her.
Lane couldn't immediately say how many shots were fired, but the investigation is expected to be led by Texas Rangers. The four officers who fired shots will be placed on administrative duty in the meantime.
The medical examiner later identified the woman as Sara Weideman-Ramos, 40.
