There was a woman who got shot dead after she killed one person and wounded another at the Times Square. She was approaching police with her knife and made threats. She seemed to be on the edge, a real killer, murderer. The location is key to understand this scene of massacre. Times Square has often been touted as tourism hotspot. Getting an attack like this easily constitutes the event as horrific, terrifying and unheard of. Her mental illness has also played in the background illuminating the agitation of the crowds and unthinkable reasons or randomness behind it all. Etc.
