A gun-toting woman was shot by New York City police officers Sunday after a weekend crime spree that began when she allegedly choked a parent at a school play, reports said.
Lori Gjenashaj, 41, was shot in the shoulder at around 12:45 p.m. after police received a 911 call about a woman breaking into a Staten Island home, NYPD Chief of Patrol Rodney Harrison said.
Police conducted a traffic stop of a black SUV that Gjenashaj was driving and when officers approached the vehicle she brandished a firearm, authorities said. Officers then fired five rounds at her, striking her once in the shoulder.
“They were loud,” said Roland Molina, 63, who heard at least four shots. “I heard a woman screaming, “I’m f–king shot!”
“I’m shaken,” Molina added. “You don’t expect it.” https://t.co/Xvh9XEQVy3

“I heard a woman screaming, ‘I’m f—ing shot!’ I’m shaken,” Roland Molina told the New York Daily News. “You don’t expect it.”
Gjenashaj’s alleged crime spree reportedly began the night before she was shot.
Gjenashaj was initially arrested around 11:20 p.m. Saturday after she allegedly choked another parent at a school play in Academy of St. Dorothy, the Staten Island Advance reported, citing police sources. She reportedly called the woman’s children a sexually explicit name.
