Video released by the Port Orange Police Department shows officers firing more than a dozen times at a 71-year-old woman who showed up armed with a gun.

Surveillance video shows the woman, Linda Jean Croteau, walking into the lobby of the station holding the gun and firing it one time.
She then exited the front lobby and was confronted by officers who were responding to the scene.

She is told to drop the weapon but does not comply.
An officer fires three times, and Croteau falls to the ground. She sits up, appears to reach for the gun, then officers fire another 10 times, audio reveals.

She was taken to a hospital where she died.
