A woman who stabbed a deputy was then shot in Bladen County on Tuesday morning.

It all began in Sampson County around 2:45 a.m. That's when a homeowner on South Main Street called 911 to report a woman in a green Saturn parked on his property and repeatedly blowing the vehicle's horn. The caller said the woman was outside of her car holding a knife and shouting that someone was out to get her.

When Sampson County deputies arrived, they saw the green Saturn driving off. They tried to pull it over, but the driver refused to stop.
