Sorry, but if this happens:

Police in the northwestern New Brunswick city say Moore ran out of her apartment onto a balcony with a knife, threatening the officer, who then shot her.
you're getting shot. Period. You can have less lethal like a taser on scene but if someone is threatening police with a knife and they're in range to strike that is a lethal encounter and it will rightfully so be met with a lethal response.

She wasn't killed because police were there for a wellness check, she was killed because of the knife. Full stop. Now if the argument is you don't believe the police due to the current climate then I'll grant you that and we can wait for the independent investigation to take place. But if what the police say happened is actually what happened then this appears to be a good shot.
