Kristen Ambury

Deadly force

Police were called to the Water's Edge apartments after getting a call about a woman who was home alone and threatening to harm herself, police said. When they arrived at Water's Edge, Sunrise officers learned that Kristen Ambury, who was described as suicidal, was armed, and Sunrise's SWAT team responded to the scene. When communication with the SWAT team and Ambury broke off, officers tried to enter the apartment to make sure she hadn't harmed herself, but they encountered the armed woman, and they shot and killed her. Ambury was a veteran who reportedly suffered from PTSD.
