Knife-wielding woman shot dead by cops after killing one and leaving another fighting for life in Times Square stabbing rampage

A 49-year-old woman, Pamela Cisneros Lopez, was shot and killed by police during a stabbing spree in Times Square, New York City. According to multiple news outlets, Lopez stabbed a woman and a man around 4:30 PM near the intersection of West 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue. After fleeing north toward an NYPD substation, she was confronted by officers who attempted to de-escalate the situation. Video footage shows Lopez brandishing two knives while being surrounded by multiple officers. When she moved her arms in large circles, an officer fired three shots, and she continued charging at police, prompting additional gunfire. Lopez and her two victims were taken to the hospital in critical condition, with Lopez and one victim later declared dead. Authorities confirmed the woman was armed with two knives and noted that the initial report of a knifepoint robbery was later reclassified due to the lack of a clear motive. Witnesses described the chaotic scene, with some recording the event on their devices.

Australia news live: police locate parents of toddler found wandering Sydney street alone at 2am

Australian authorities located the parents of a toddler who was found wandering alone on a Sydney street around 2am. NSW police initially launched a public appeal for information after the child was discovered in Ramsgate, a southern Sydney suburb, without parental supervision. The toddler was believed to be approximately two years old. By early morning, police confirmed the parents had been located. Authorities thanked the public for their assistance and noted that investigations into the incident continue.
