Officers Fatally Shooting Woman Who Stabbed Her Therapist

555 Orange County Authorities on Thursday released the results of an officer-involved-shooting in Fullerton that killed a woman who had stabbed her therapist, finding that there was no criminal conduct by officers. The incident happened in May 2018, when officers responded to the 1600 block of East Chapman Avenue at around 7:30 a.m. to find Katherine Brazeau, 46, of Santa Ana, barricading herself inside the office of therapist Jacki Stevens, 40, according to police. Stevens had called authorities and said she had been stabbed as police were responding to the scene, authroties said. When police arrived and confronted Brazeau, armed with a knife, they shot and killed her. An internal review of the shooting concluded that the officers acted reasonably, justifiably and lawfully when they shot Brazeau, Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said at a news conference Wednesday.
