Woman killed in random Times Square stabbing was at 1st day at work after maternity leave
The suspect was shot and killed by police, officials said. New York City police fatally shot an apparently emotionally disturbed woman after she allegedly stabbed two people in Times Square in a "random and unprovoked" attack on Monday afternoon, authorities said. One of the victims, 32-year-old Erin Piacenti of Chester, New Jersey, died at a hospital, according to the NYPD. Piacenti worked at Bank of America. The bank said in a statement that it is "shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague," adding, "our hearts go out to her family and all of her loved ones." Piacenti and her husband welcomed a baby girl five months ago, and she was killed on her first day back at work after maternity leave, according to a GoFundMe page.
