Many on Maui are questioning why a policeman used fatal force in a shooting over the weekend, while others felt the officer's approach may have been justified.

A 20-year-old woman was shot and killed in an altercation with police when she charged at Maui Police officers while holding a knife on the afternoon on Feb. 1.

A brief clip from body camera footage of a police shooting Saturday in Pukalani shows the 20-year-old woman who was fatally wounded holding a knife as she approaches the officer. On Tuesday, officials with the Maui Police Department identified the woman as 20-year-old Macayla Deponte of Ha’iku.
