Police in North Carolina have released the body cam footage of the moment an officer shot dead a woman coming at him with a butcher's knife in an effort to show the shooting was justified.

Chieu Di Thi Vo, 46, was shot and killed by a police officer on March 25, 2014, after police were called to a fight at an apartment complex in Greensboro.

Vo, who was born in Vietnam and did not speak English, was having an argument with her mother and was shouting in Vietnamese when cops arrived.

Police say she came at the officer with a meat cleaver and refused orders to drop the weapon when he opened fire, Fox 8 News reported.

why is the camera pointing to the sky the first few seconds?

Don't they typically wear those things on their chest?

Clean shot. The officer was responding to a call of a fight. He did not know any prior conditions about the assailant.

Clean shot.


ETA the gun is sideways because he's radioing for backup.

If a cop tells you to "stop" and you continue to walk towards them, you may get shot.

If you're holding a weapon when a cop tells you to "stop" and you continue to walk towards them, you will get shot.

Would've been the same result or worse if she was back in Vietnam. No lie.

yeah, pretty sure there was another way to diffuse this situation without shooting the woman 4 times and killing her.

That cop just inadvertently saves hundreds of dogs' lives. He must feel so conflicted.

Damn he went all gangsta at the end, lol.

Doesn't matter if she didn't speak English, iirc the universal sign to stop WTF you are doing and don't move is a police officer with his gun drawn on you.

Why does every video, no matter the length, need a fricking ad?

Hey, heard you were about to watch a video of an old lady getting shot, let me tell you about Zillow and how it can help your home-buying needs. And guess what? A house just opened...
