Mother shot and killed by police as she stabbed four-year-old disabled daughter to death

A mother was shot and killed by police officers after they found her stabbing her disabled four-year-old daughter to death.

Police say the woman had refused to drop a knife when confronted by officers at her home in northwest Atlanta.

Emergency services were called to the home yesterday afternoon after the woman's eight-year-old son told neighbours that he had been choked by his mother and thrown out of a window.
