Authorities shut off the electricity to avoid her electrocution. According to KTVX-TV, police indicated she was experiencing a mental health crisis. Witness Ryan Kent observed law enforcement attempting to persuade her to come down from the high-voltage transformer while she shouted obscenities at them and damaged nearby equipment. Kent expressed concern for her safety as she voiced fears about the world being unsafe for herself and future children. Video footage showed her clinging to the transformer before climbing onto a power line. When police used cherry pickers to help her down, she refused assistance and was eventually shot with non-lethal rubber bullets after not responding initially. She collapsed into the cherry picker but appeared conscious and in pain when taken away by ambulance after being rescued.
