Investigators said Swanson was acting strangely at the time of the incident. She had been seen walking naked around the area prior to the shooting.

Later that day, when she pointed a gun at the officers and refused to drop it, the men said they were forced to fire on her.

A toxicology report found marijuana in the woman's system, but no other drugs.
