Despite her best efforts, a suicidal woman failed to provoke the Corvallis Police Department in letting her commit "suicide by cop" last Tuesday night.
Amazingly, officers held their fire, as she pointed a very realistic looking toy handgun that she had stolen from a toy store at them, and verbally challenged them to shoot her. It was 9pm at night, and officers stated that they could not determine that the gun was a toy. They said that it was only after she finally dropped it, that they realized the toy gun was not real.
Here is a photo of the mentally disturbed woman, and the toy, which is designed to look like a S&W 500 Magnum revolver:

The woman admitted that her goal was to get herself killed, and that she thought that suicide by cop would be an effective way to commit suicide.
