According to the LAPD, ''the suspect was holding a large metal grate over her head and advanced toward officers. An officer deployed a Taser, but it was ineffective and an officer-involved shooting occurred.''
The woman, who police said was not hit by gunfire from the officers, was taken to a hospital by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics and she was reported to be in stable condition.
No officers were injured in the shooting, police said.
