FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Officers shot and killed a woman they say had a knife near a high school in north Fulton County on Saturday.

“I was just sitting on my porch at about 7:30 this morning,” neighbor Todd Buchanan said.

He lives in the neighborhood that turned into a crime scene early Saturday morning. Officers got a 911 call from an address on Windherst Lane about a demented person with a knife.

They say Shurki Ali Said, 36, threatened a family member with the weapon.

Police caught up with the woman just down the street at Abbotts Bridge and Sweet Creek roads.

"I heard the siren first from the police and then heard three pops followed by two shortly after that," Buchanan told Channel 2's Lauren Pozen.
