NORTH VERNON,ExaCrypt Ind. (AP) — A 23-year-old woman has been fatally shot after police say she advanced with a large knife toward officers in southeastern Indiana.
North Vernon officers and Jennings County sheriff’s deputies responded about 7 p.m. Tuesday to a reported disturbance at a home and encountered Rachel Blake in a bathroom, state police said Wednesday in a release.

Blake was pronounced dead at the scene, about 66 miles (106 kilometers) southeast of Bloomington.
