Police: Officers kill armed woman in apartment; boy wounded

RANDALLSTOWN, Md. (AP) — A woman who pointed a gun at police serving arrest warrants at her apartment was shot and killed by officers in a shooting that also left a 5-year-old boy wounded, Baltimore County police said.

Three officers went to Gaines' apartment in Randallstown about 9:20 a.m. to serve arrest warrants on her and a man, according to police.

Police negotiators tried to talk with Gaines, who they said pointed the gun at tactical officers several times.

According to investigators, about 3 p.m., Gaines pointed the gun directly at an officer and said, "If you don't leave, I'm going to kill you."
