Officers Shoot Woman After She Charges With a Sharp Object

* (Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only) Louisville, Kentucky — On March 27, 2026, around 7:45 p.m., LMPD patrol officers responded 7800 Vieux Carre Drive on a 911 call for service. The caller explained, her cousin, 28-year-old Katelyn Hall, was extremely agitated, armed with glass, had slit her wrists, locked herself in a bathroom, and had ingested cleaning products. Because of these factors, this run was not eligible or safe for deflection response, according to the LMPD. Officer Robert Baker was the first officer to arrive on scene and speak with the 911 caller who meets him at the steps of the apartment complex. As he walks into the apartment, Officer Baker put on medical gloves indicating an expectation he would be providing aid to someone. Officer Baker speaked with another female in the apartment who explained Hall has cut both of her wrists, was armed with glass, and was bleeding significantly. Officer Baker then went to the bedroom and began to speak with Hall for about 4 minutes, until other officers arrived on scene. During this time, Officer Baker did not approach the bathroom door, but attempted to deescalate the situation through conversation. Officer Baker requested additional officers with less lethal tools and an ETA (estimated time of arrival) for EMS. The 3 officers on scene agreed and developed a plan for one to be less lethal cover with a taser, one to be lethal cover, and one to go hands on when needed. A firefighter used a tool to break the lock on the bathroom door. After the lock was broken, Officer Baker and another officer attempted to open the door, but Hall was sitting in front of the door preventing officers from opening it. As officers were trying to open the door, Hall breaks more glass in the bathroom. Officers were still unable to get into the bathroom because she was on the floor in front of the door. As time went on, Hall’s voice became more calm and quiet which would indicate significant blood loss or that she was starting to lose consciousness. With the intent to get medical aid to Hall, firefighters then broke the hinges on the door. As the firefighter were breaking the hinges, Officer Gabbard arrived on scene. He was not present for anything that had occurred in the room prior to this moment. After the hinges were broken, the door remained in place, and officers stood back from the door. At this time there were 4 officers in the room: Officer Baker, Officer Gabbard, and two other officers. Officers were standing about 3-5 feet from the bathroom door. As the firefighter moved back from the door, Hall suddenly opened the door and exited rapidly holding a piece of broken porcelain approximately 8-12 inches in length with a sharp and pointed edge. It is believed this was from breaking the top of the toilet while in the bathroom. When she opened the door, officers immediately attempted to give commands for her to stop. She quickly advanced towards officers with the porcelain raised at shoulder level. Officers Baker and Gabbard fired their weapon, striking Hall. The officer with the taser did not discharge the taser. Officers and the firefighters immediately begin to render aid to Hall by applying chest seals and doing CPR. She was transported to UL where she was pronounced deceased. 🚨𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠. ⚠️𝑉𝑖𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑑𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡.⚠️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - John Doe - 'Twitchypowpow' - 'MrGiggles-.' - Lillian Daley - Tyrell Robertson - christine Grinter - 'Based Asuka' - 'The Evil Queen' - Benjamin Osgood - Gary Wilson - LJ - Edward Aquino - Brianna Wilkins - Eian Smith - brandon - William - Hunter - Cammy - Elisabeth Craig - Bobby Roach - Sarin Dipity - Becky Hopkins - thomas - Cody Stephens - Troy Polansky - Tulla Belle - 'quadrakyiro' - Scott Mackin - "John B.
