ItalyA woman named Pamela Cisneros stabbed two people in Times Square, New York, killing one of them before being shot dead by police who were forced to open fire after she refused to drop her knives. The victim was Erin Piacenti, a 32-year-old vice president of Bank of America, who died later in the hospital. The incident occurred around 4:30 PM local time on Monday and lasted just seconds. Cisneros had a documented history of mental health issues and had previously required police intervention in 2018 and 2019. Authorities stated that the attack was not considered an act of terrorism but raised concerns ahead of the Labor Day holiday, which typically brings large crowds to the area. Police attempted to deescalate the situation using a taser and verbal persuasion over four minutes before firing. The mayor praised the officers for preventing further harm.
