A 32-year-old Bank of America employee named Erin Piacenti was killed in a stabbing attack in Times Square, New York City. This tragic event happened on a Monday afternoon when a 49-year-old woman, Pamela Cisneros, allegedly attacked two people in quick succession. The first victim was a 68-year-old man who was waiting with his wife after exiting the subway. He was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition. Unfortunately, Piacenti was also attacked and later died at the hospital. When police confronted Cisneros, she refused to surrender and threatened the officers. They tried to use Tasers on her, but it didn't work, so they shot her when she continued to approach them. She was also taken to the hospital but did not survive. Cisneros did not have a criminal record but had a history of mental health issues. The police have stated that there is no evidence to suggest the attack was related to terrorism. The incident has drawn a lot of attention on social media, and investigations are ongoing. The mayor of New York City described the situation as tragic and praised the police response.
