An armed woman who threatened to "kill anybody and everybody" was shot and killed during a deputy-involved shooting in Cooper City Monday morning, authorities said.
According to the Broward Sheriff's Office, the 44-year-old woman called 911 just after 9 a.m. and told the 911 operator she was going to "kill anybody and everybody." Sheriff's investigators later identified her as Lisa Taylor.

When deputies arrived at the woman's home at 7 Fir Way, she walked outside armed with a handgun and refused to drop it, the BSO said.
Taylor pointed the gun at the deputies and three of them opened fire, hitting her, the BSO said.
"The deputies continually shouted out at her to drop her weapon, drop her weapon, there came a point in time when she pointed her weapon at deputies, and deputies fired," Sheriff Scott Israel said.

Taylor was rushed to Hollywood Memorial where she later died.
"She was really nice," said neighbor Nick Zorovich, who is friends with Taylor's teenage son.
He also said of Taylor, "She used to let me stay over there for long periods of time, she had mental breakdowns sometimes."
One witness said they saw the woman lying in the middle of the street in the neighborhood just after the shooting.
Another witness said they heard about six shots fired.
The three deputies have been placed on administrative duties.
