DAVIS, CALIFORNIA — A woman was shot during a confrontation with Yolo County Sheriff’s deputies Tuesday morning, but is expected to survive her injuries.

The Davis Police Department says a deputy was enforcing an eviction noticed at an apartment on Hanover Drive in Davis when 46-year-old Eleni Bekele came to the front door with a knife. The deputy, who has not been identified, drew her weapon and shot the Bekele when she didn’t drop the knife, authorities said.

The injured resident refused to drop the knife and hurled it at Davis police officers, striking one in the head. The officer was not injured.

Bekele, an immigrant from Ethiopia, still refused to give up for a short time before surrendering to authorities. Emergency crews rushed her to the UC Davis Medical Center, where she is expected to survive.

Bekele has been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.
