According to Fox news
Florida police bodycam video shows a Jacksonville officer knocking on a door before a woman rushes out, stabs her, then is ultimately shot and killed by law enforcement.
Officer Elizabeth Mechling was responding to a dispute at a home in April, but the video was just released this week. In it, Mechling knocks on the door, steps back and appears to be waiting for someone to answer.
Then the suspect, identified as 29-year-old Leah Baker, rushes out with a knife.
VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED – “I’ve just been f****** stabbed!” Mechling is heard yelling on her radio as she backtracks off the front porch of the home.

“What the f—,” Mechling shouts, stumbling onto the sidewalk.
Then she calls it in: “I’ve just been f—— stabbed!”
The knife struck her in the arm, she says later in the video. After calling it in, Mechling orders Baker to drop the knife, and she does. When Mechling orders her to get on the ground, she ignores the command and reaches for the knife again.
