Omaha police fatally shot a woman Tuesday after she allegedly slashed a young boy with a knife outside a Walmart, authorities said.

Investigators say the incident began inside the store, where the suspect approached a woman and a 2- or 3-year-old boy, brandished a large knife and “took possession of the child, essentially kidnapping the child,” according to Deputy Chief Scott Gray.
