Authorities say a violent incident involving a young child ended in a fatal police shooting after a suspect allegedly refused to drop a weapon.

According to reports, Noemi Guzman, 31, is accused of stealing a knife, abducting a 3-year-old boy, and injuring him during the encounter. Officials say the child suffered facial injuries and was later taken for medical treatment. His current condition has not been fully disclosed.

When officers arrived on scene, they reportedly confronted Guzman and ordered her to drop the weapon. Police say she refused to comply, prompting officers to open fire. Guzman was pronounced dead at the scene.
