Fox News
Quick-thinking police officers in North Carolina on Saturday fatally shot a man as he stabbed his 13-year-old stepdaughter who was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
Police said they tried to deescalate the situation, but the man, "without warning," began to stab the girl.
"They were met with something that horrific, to see a 13-year-old getting stabbed, and they were left with no choice, Johnny Jennings, the chief of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, said, according to the Charlotte Observer. "The motive to stab a 13-year-old is something that is beyond comprehension for us."
