The shooting took place about 8:30 a.m. near the intersection of Harmon Avenue and Buckingham roads, according to Sgt. Garvin McComie.

Once officers were on the scene, they encountered a woman who had multiple firearms in her home, McComie said.
During the encounter, the woman pulled out a firearm.
Officers gave commands for the woman to put down the weapon. They tried to subdue her with a Taser. When that was unsuccessful, an officer shot her.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is now investigating the incident.
