[^1]\n\nA 49-year-old woman from Queens stabbed two people in New York City's Times Square on Monday, killing one victim and leaving the other in stable condition. [^2]\n\nTwo officers shot the woman, and she was subsequently handcuffed and rendered first aid by police. [^3]\n\nOne person was killed and another critically injured after a woman allegedly stabbed two people in New York City's Times Square before she was fatally shot by police. [^4]\n\nErin Piacenti, a 32-year-old vice president of business selection and conflicts at Bank of America, died in a hospital from injuries sustained in a stabbing in Times Square, New York City. [^5]\n\nNYPD stated on 2026-08-31 that a woman used two kitchen knives to randomly attack two people near One Times Square in New York City, stabbing a 68-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman. [^6]\n\nThe 32-year-old female victim died from her injuries, while the 68-year-old male victim is in stable condition. [^7]\n\nThe NYPD closed part of 7th Avenue and warned the public to stay away from the area after the shooting. [^8]\n\nThe video shows the woman walking quickly toward the officers while waving the knives; as one officer backed up, he and at least two others pulled their handguns and gunshots could be heard. [^9]\n\nVideo posted on social media shows at least 10 officers gathered around the woman, who held two large kitchen knives, and at least one officer attempted to subdue her with a Taser that did not incapacitate her. [^10]\n\nPolice Commissioner Jessica Tisch stated that officers tried to convince the woman to drop her knives for several minutes before using a Taser. [^11]\n\nThe suspect pulled two knives from a shopping bag and stabbed a 68-year-old man in the abdomen before turning to stab a 32-year-old woman also in the abdomen.
