New Brunswick, NJ - Body camera video shows police fatally shooting a woman with a knife at her New Brunswick, New Jersey, home in August.

The New Jersey attorney general's office released the video Wednesday as it investigates the incident.

The shooting happened on Aug. 8 at Deborah Terrell's apartment on Nielson Street.

Police said they received 911 calls reporting the 68-year-old was disturbing other residents in her building.

"She keeps going in and out of her apartment with, like, a huge knife," one caller said.

When officers arrived, Terrell was inside her apartment with the door closed.

Video shows an officer knocking, and Terrell opens the door. She exchanges a few words with the officers, then slams the door shut again.

The officers tried to engage with her numerous times.

"Hey Deborah, you mind if we come in?" one officer said at one point.

Then, a knife appears under the bottom of the door, with Terrell appearing to slide it back and forth.

Terrell is later seen opening the door with a knife in her hand. One officer deploys a Taser and another deploys pepper spray, but Terrell then walks out into the hallway, brandishing the knife.

The AG says two shots were fired then at Terrell, killing her.
