The Chester County District Attorney's Office on Thursday determined that an officer who shot and killed an armed woman during a wellness check at a townhome in Malvern last month was justified in using lethal force, according to a release.

The investigation stems from an incident on the 800 block of Charleston Green on May 19. Officers from the Malvern Police Department were dispatched to a townhome just after 11 a.m. for reports of a woman experiencing a mental health crisis.

Investigators say the woman walked towards them and yelled that she was in a "crisis situation" and "get on Twitter now." According to officials, the woman indicated that the entire incident was being recorded "live on the internet." An officer chased her into the house and a struggle over the weapon ensued, according to a press release. Investigators say the woman had her finger on the trigger and waved the gun at the officers.
