said she then moved toward the officers holding a knife.

When she came within several feet, an officer fired a gun, striking her. An officer also deployed a Taser, and another officer recovered the knife.

What they're saying:

Officers carried the woman downstairs and provided emergency medical aid before she was transported to Jamaica Hospital in stable condition.

Investigators found that four people in total had suffered stab wounds: three men and the woman who was shot. One man was taken to Jamaica Hospital, while the other two were transported to North Shore University Hospital. Several officers were also taken to nearby hospitals for routine evaluation.

Detectives recovered two knives from the scene. The entire incident was captured on police body-worn cameras.

While investigators are still piecing together the events that took place before police arrived, Rivera said the people inside the home are known to each other. Police do not believe the woman who was shot was responsible for the home invasion or the initial stabbing that prompted the 911 calls.

The NYPD's Force Investigation Division is handling the ongoing investigation.
