A Northern Virginia police officer fatally shot a 6'5" 330-pound woman who slashed his face while continually advancing toward the officer despite his repeated warnings for her to stop, police said. The officer’s body-worn camera was activated during the encounter in the 11800 block of Sunrise Valley Drive at the Reston Heights apartments Monday morning, Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis told WDVM-TV. The woman fell to the ground after the shooting, the station said, adding that medics took her to a hospital with critical injuries, and she died there. Davis said at a news conference that the woman’s health care provider asked for a wellness check, the station said, adding that the uniformed officer identified himself and that the woman slammed her door in the officer’s face. The chief added that the officer kept knocking on the door, offering to get help for the woman, and that the woman opened it minutes later while in possession of a knife, WDVM said. Davis noted that the woman — who has had multiple encounters with police this year — began attacking the officer with the knife and cut his face at least once, the station reported. Bodycam video shows the officer repositioning himself, backing away several feet, after which the woman moved toward the officer and cut him, the chief told WDVM. David described the 33-year-old woman as standing six feet, five inches tall and weighing around 330 pounds, the station said. The officer told the woman at least eight times to drop the knife and stop, WDVM said, adding that she kept moving toward the officer. Davis said during the news conference that the officer opened fire multiple times. The woman fell to the ground after the shooting, the station said, adding that medics took her to a hospital with critical injuries, and she died there. Davis said he expects the officer to recover from his injuries, WDVM noted, adding that the woman had family and friends and that the chief and his officers feel the loss of life. The station said this was the second deadly shooting at this apartment complex in about a month. “Seeing police here again is of course uncomfortable,” Marvin Somoza told WDVM. “You want to feel safe where you live, right, and so I think a lot of tenants right now might be feeling unsafe.” The chief said he reviewed the entire bodycam video and that he will release it to the public well within 30 days, the station said. - YouTube www.youtube.com Like Blaze News?

An Ohio sheriff recently suggested sending illegal aliens to live with Americans who have Harris-Walz yard signs in their yards.Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski has come under fire from some local residents for comments he made on his personal campaign account last weekend.'Elections have consequences.'Zuchowski wrote, "When people ask me… What's gonna happen if the Flip - Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins?? I say…write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards!" "Sooo… when the Illegal human 'Locust' (which she supports!) Need places to live… We'll already have the addresses of the their [sic] New families…who supported their arrival!" he added.The sheriff's post also noted the immigration crisis impacting Springfield, Ohio, and Aurora, Colorado. Approximately 20,000 Haitian immigrants have been brought into the Springfield area, which previously had a population of 60,000 residents. There have been many reports that the town has been experiencing an uptick in traffic accidents and increased housing costs due to the new arrivals.Zuchowski, who has served as sheriff since 2021, is currently up for re-election. While some Portage County residents found Zuchowski's comments amusing, others filed complaints against the sheriff, accusing him of voter intimidation, the Akron Beacon Journal reported. One resident told the news outlet that he submitted a complaint to the Department of Justice, writing, "That sort of doxxing, sanctioned by a gun-toting man with a badge, is downright scary."Other residents have reportedly requested the Ohio Secretary of State open an investigation into the sheriff over his statements. Another local told the Akron Beacon Journal, "What that statement was on Facebook was intended for oppression, intimidation, and suppression of freedom of speech."Zuchowski's challenger, Jon Barber, also reportedly claimed the sheriff's comments amounted to voter intimidation."Now it's like you are deciding who you are going to protect and who you aren't if they are not like minded," Barber stated. "I certainly hope the sheriff's office isn't looking up voter registration before he offers to send people out, but people have a right to wonder about that."The Portage County Republican Party backed Zuchowski, telling the news outlet, "I believe the sheriff's statement is a bit of artistic license getting toward the principal belief that elections have consequences.""Our sheriffs are elected to stand for the citizens of the county, and Bruce Zuchowski stands for Portage," a spokesperson said. Zuchowski did not respond to multiple requests for comment from various news outlets.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

If you didn't download Apple's iPadOS 18 update on your M4 iPad Pro, consider yourself lucky. As reported by MacRumors on Tuesday, Apple pulled its software update after dozens of users started reporting that the update was bricking their devices. In two separate Reddit threads with over 100 comments each, M4 iPad Pro owners have been complaining about iPadOS 18 since it rolled out publicly this Monday. The creator of one of the threads explained that in the middle of updating an M4 iPad Pro, the screen went black, and the tablet wouldn't power back on. At an Apple Store, the employees claimed the tablet was bricked and that Apple would send a replacement in a few days. "Same with my iPad Pro M4 13” 256 cellular," said Redditor mortyc2077. "Was in the middle of updating went to check it and it wouldn’t turn on at all. Took it to the Genius Bar this morning and the tech told me it was the second M4 he saw with the issue today. They have to send it to the repair facility and try to fix it or order me a replacement." It's unclear what is causing the problem, as plenty of M4 iPad Pro owners in the comments say they were able to update their tablets without a hitch. Apple has yet to release a statement regarding the issue, but if your M4 iPad Pro can't power on after trying to update it, head to an Apple Store ASAP. In the meantime, Apple's other annual software updates all appear to still be available (I'm in the process of updating to iOS 18 on my iPhone 14 Pro right now). We'll keep an eye out for a new version of iPadOS 18 in the coming days that doesn't brick tablets.
