According to reports, a woman was just shot and killed this past Monday after a confrontation with police. The confrontation happened outside a Delta Air Lines maintenance facility near Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Reports said that the woman had been looking for her husband or boyfriend at the building. Apparently someone had spotted the woman with a weapon and called for police. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesman, John Bankhead, said that at least one officer opened fire on the woman after she went past a security checkpoint in her car. Reports did later confirm that the woman was armed.

Bankhead said that it was not immediately known whether the woman died from police gunfire or a self-inflicted wound. A statement that was released by Delta stated that no employees were harmed or injured during the event.

Clayton Police Lt. Tina Daniel said that the woman was apparently involved in some kind of domestic dispute. She was looking for a Delta employee who was not at work at the time.

This report clearly shows the action that police have to take when people pass security checkpoints armed. This goes double for the fact now that security for all airline affiliated buildings are tight. It’s said that this woman’s death came over something like a dispute with her lover. However, police cannot allow people to come around businesses armed and dangerous. This goes double for someone that is clearly upset. There are a ton of different ways that the woman could have chosen to handled her actions, which could have led to a different outcome.
