🚨 WARNING, GRAPHIC VIDEO: 49-Year-Old Woman Shot Dead by Police After Stabbing Two People in Times Square
DETAILS: Police said the attack began near West 41st Street when Pamela Cisneros, 49, of Queens, approached the man while armed with two large knives. He had just exited a subway station and was waiting to cross the street with his wife.
Cisneros pulled the knives from a red Target bag before attacking the man.
Cisneros then moved north on Seventh Avenue and stabbed 32-year-old Erin Piacenti. The two attacks occurred about 20 seconds apart.
Officers later confronted Cisneros while she was still holding both knives, and shot her dead after she rushed officers.
VICTIM IDENTIFIED: Erin Piacenti was walking through Times Square in Manhattan on Monday afternoon, heading home from work, when she was stabbed to death by 49-year-old Pamela Cisneros.
A 32-year-old vice president at Bank of America, Erin had just started her first week back on the job after five months on maternity leave: Four days earlier, she had posted a photo of herself on social media holding her newborn daughter and standing, beaming, next to her husband.
May God rest Erin's soul and bring comfort to her family and loved ones.
