In a release, LBPD says:

On Saturday, July 20, 2013, at approximately 11:05 p.m., the Long Beach Police Department responded to the 1100 block of Walnut Avenue regarding a female armed with a hatchet and threatening to kill her husband, which resulted in an officer involved shooting with no injuries.

Upon arrival, officers observed the female inside a residence armed with a hatchet and standing over her husband preparing to attack him. The female refused to follow the officers' orders to drop the weapon, and an officer discharged his firearm to stop the attack.

The female, who was not struck by gunfire, immediately surrendered to officers and was taken into custody. The male victim was not injured during the attack.

The suspect, identified as a 33-year old Melanie McGhee of Long Beach, was booked for assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder and is being held on $500,000 bail.
