Story summary
On Monday morning in Washington state, a 35-year-old woman from Steilacoom crashed her SUV into a semi-truck on southbound Interstate 5 near DuPont. After rolling over, she allegedly threatened two girls with a knife and stabbed a 9-year-old, who suffered multiple broken bones and a stab wound. A 15-year-old was also hospitalized but without serious injuries.
Two soldiers from Joint Base Lewis-McChord intervened, tackling the woman and disarming her of the knife. Nathan Wilkinson, who witnessed the incident while driving to work, told KING 5 that he saw one soldier holding what appeared to be a knife they had removed from the woman. Witnesses then subdued her until police arrived.
KING 5 reported Tuesday morning that she was booked into Pierce County Jail and faces charges including two counts of assault, vehicular assault, and two counts of reckless endangerment.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
