Troopers shoot, kill armed woman
The Associated Press

WASILLA -- Alaska State Troopers fatally shot a woman they say was 
wielding a handgun. Troopers say 38-year-old Debra L. Torrey was shot 
after refusing to drop firearm Tuesday evening.

Authorities say they took a call saying that a woman fired a handgun 
inside a medical facility.

The caller then said that same woman was outside the center and trying to 
re-enter while still holding the handgun.

Troopers say they directed her to drop the gun, but she repeatedly refused 
to comply while making threatening statements and motions.

Two troopers fired their weapons. The woman died at the scene. No one else 
was injured.

Department policy requires the troopers involved in a shooting be placed 
on administrative leave.

Once they return, the department will release their names.
