However, things quickly took a violent turn, as <em>WUSA9<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wusa9.com\/article\/news\/police\/fairfax-police-release-video-reston-woman-shot-killed\/65-aacceefc-de2e-4e0b-af8e-3ed858f5395d\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"bodycam-woman-slashes-cop-in-face-w-knife\" title=\"Bodycam: Woman Slashes Cop in Face w\/ Knife\">reported<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-the-72-hour-rule-what-it-is-and-why-we-follow-it\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/the-72-hour-rule-what-it-is-and-why-we-follow-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"bodycam-woman-slashes-cop-in-face-w-knife\" title=\"Bodycam: Woman Slashes Cop in Face w\/ Knife\">The 72 Hour Rule: What It Is And Why We Follow It<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the footage, Officer Liu knocked on Wilson&#8217;s door, but she slammed it shut in his face. After knocking for another three minutes, she opened the door again\u2014this time with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without warning, she slashed the officer&#8217;s face, leading him to retreat down a hallway while repeatedly telling her to back up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite his efforts to de-escalate the situation, Officer Liu was trapped in a dead-end hallway. After being attacked a second time, he fired multiple shots, hitting Wilson three times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis described the officer\u2019s actions as being in line with their training, emphasizing that Liu had no other options available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;So he did the things that we train him and expect him to do,&#8221; explained Davis. &#8220;If you&#8217;re threatened like that, if you can tactically reposition yourself, do it. If you can use distance, use it. If you can seek cover and concealment, seek it. All those options just weren&#8217;t available to him.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This incident has drawn attention to Fairfax County\u2019s co-responder program, which pairs officers with mental health experts to assist in calls involving mental health crises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-staccato-c-full-review-conceal-compete-and-conquer\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/staccato-c-full-review-conceal-compete-and-conquer\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"bodycam-woman-slashes-cop-in-face-w-knife\" title=\"Bodycam: Woman Slashes Cop in Face w\/ Knife\">Staccato C Full Review: Conceal, Compete, and Conquer!<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the co-responder unit was unavailable at the time, responding to another call. Chief Davis suggested that even with the co-responder team present, the situation might have still turned violent and placed the mental health expert in danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The officer is now recovering and has been reassigned to another department as the investigation continues. Fairfax County police are reviewing the incident to determine if anything could have been done differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some believe that the officer should have taken a different approach.
