Las Vegas officers shot and killed a woman under the influence of PCP who lunged at them with a knife at a busy intersection in West Las Vegas. Earlier attempts to subdue Denise Nicole Glasco, 24, with less-than-lethal force were unsuccessful. Police encountered Glasco after receiving a call that she was causing a disturbance at a fast food restaurant and had a young child with her.
