SAN DIEGO (CNS) – A San Diego police officer who opened fire on a 32-year-old woman who allegedly stabbed a man during a fight last week in the East Village was identified Friday.<\/p>\n

The San Diego Police Department responded around 5 p.m. April 15 to a deadly weapon assault at the intersection of 16th Street and Island Avenue, where callers reported that the suspect, identified as San Diego County resident Denise Guzman, was actively stabbing a man, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival, SDPD officers ordered Guzman to drop the unidentified object she was holding, but approached them despite being given additional commands, sheriff’s officials said.<\/p>\n

Officer Yand Grijalva, a six-year veteran with the SDPD, discharged multiple rounds, striking the suspect. A Taser was also used on Guzman during the incident, the sheriff’s office reported.<\/p>\n

The victim of the assault did not sustain injuries. His name and age were not immediately available. Guzman was transported to a hospital, where she was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n

The sheriff’s Homicide Unit responded to the scene and conducted the officer-involved shooting investigation. The motivation and circumstances that led up to the attack remained under investigation.<\/p>\n

Guzman was booked at Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and making criminal threats.<\/p>\n

No officers were injured during the incident.<\/p>\n

Authorities urged anyone with additional information regarding the stabbing to contact the sheriff’s Homicide Unit at 858-285-6330 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.<\/p>\n
