Officers went to the 34-year-old's home when they were told she had locked herself in a closet with her two-month-old daughter.
In the video, which is edited, the officers initially asked the woman to put the child down.
"Their efforts failed, the woman came out of the closet, walked past them and sat on the bed," the police department said in a statement.
A few minutes later, however, the 34-year-old grabs a kitchen knife she had on her bedside table and rushes towards one of the police officers.
"Oops" one of the officers is heard saying before the 34-year-old turned to another colleague, all the while holding the infant in her arms.
"She attacked the police officers while holding the child, as a result of which one of the police officers shot and the woman and the baby were mortally wounded," the police department said in a statement.
For the time being, it remains unknown which of the three police officers who were present and have been suspended, opened fire.
