“Due to the severity of the incident here, there are criminal charges that can be filed. So what we have to do is we have to allow the hospital to do its job. Give her the treatment and help that she needs and then once she is released from that, then, we can take her into custody,” stated CHP officer Andrew Barclay, according to NBC Bay Area.

“We are grateful no one was harmed in this incident. Our officers were able to get there, de-escalate that situation, get her to drop her weapon and take her into custody. I don’t have anything to parallel this to. I don’t have another incident that I can compare this to,” he added.
