A woman handing out pizza samples at a Costco in Sterling, Virginia was killed yesterday afternoon after waving a knife and scissors around and threatening employees. Police officers responded to calls of a disturbance at the store and arrived to find 38-year old Mhai Scott in a state of distress. They tried to use a stun gun to calm her down, but Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman told a NBC affiliate that it “did not work.” As a result, a deputy shot Scott and killed her. Another officer was wounded in the leg, though witnesses confirm only those in the sheriff’s department fired their weapons and he may have been hit by a ricochet. He is expected make a full recovery. The deceased worked for the company that does sampling at Costco stores. After being closed for the remainder of Wednesday, the location is up and running again today.
