RAW VIDEO: Woman Shot After Throwing Knife Toward Calif. Deputy

Palm Desert, California (PDSO / News Release) — On Sunday, December 10th, 2023, at 2:45 a.m., deputies assigned to the Palm Desert Sheriff’s Station were dispatched to the 49,000 block of State Highway 74 for a report of a burglary in progress. The reporting party told dispatch she was hiding in her bedroom because there was an unidentified man inside her residence whom she believed was armed. Deputies arrived and located an open door to the residence. They announced themselves and made entry. Once inside, deputies encountered a compliant male who was detained without incident.

After detaining the male, a female, armed with a knife, walked out of a back room and into the hallway. The female suspect was instructed to drop the knife, but instead she threw it at the deputies and a deputy-involved shooting occurred.

After the suspect was struck by gunfire, deputies rendered medical aid until paramedics arrived. She was then transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The suspect was identified as 53-year-old Kelly Lynette Cronn, a resident of Palm Desert. The suspect was arrested for two counts of assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer. Cronn was armed with a knife bearing an eight-inch blade.
